CENTRAL LABOR UNION The Trouble Between the Unions aad th Breweries, Communications From Outside Or- ganizatio: and Other Business ‘Transacted—Paverws’ Question. The regular weekly meeting of the Cen- tral Labor Unicn, which was held last evening at Typographical Temple, was largely attended and much enthusiasm was evident. President Milford F. Spohn occupied the chair ‘and Mr. Jarvis B. Moulden was chosen secretary pro tem., Secretary Torrens still being unable, on account of illness, to attend. A communication was read from Hod Carriers’ Union, No. 1, complaining that Mr. Foster, the foreman of construction at the Consumers’ Brewery, Rosslyn, had refused to longer employ members of their union, and had laid all of them off for a week, although the bricklayers were at work during the entire period; that a com- mittee complained to the directors regard- ing the matter, and the latter informed Mr. Foster that he should employ union hod carriers on the work; that Mr. Foster promised to do so, but has not, and yester- day, when those union hod carriers who had been employed on the building again reported for duty, they found that non- union hod carriers were still employed there. The matter was referred by Presi- dent Spohn to the grievance committee, with tlre request that the committee would call upon the directors in reference to the matter at once, and see if those hod car- riers now on the work cannot be dis- charged and the union men reinstated. The committee agreed to do so. Brewery Trouble. A communication was read from Meas:s. Leon Tobriner and Alexander H. Bell, counsel for the Heurich and National Cap- ital brewing companies, respectively, in reply to a request from the secretary of the Central Labor Union in behalf of Brew- ery Workers’ Union, No. 118, asking that the brewers meet them in conference to conclude trade relations between the mas- ter brewers and the members ef the Brew- ers’ Union, and which involved matters of detail of ‘mutual interest. In part, the communication, which indicates that the celebrated “brewers’ combine,” which was formed about a year ago by the three local breweries in the. District for mutual pro- tection in their fight against various labor organizations, has been broken, is as fol- lows: “The undersigned companies have never denied the right of thelr employes to or- ganize; it is a right which they have al- ways conceded to each and every employe, a matter considering which the will of the employe is free and untrammeled, and with respect to which these companies will in no manner interfere, leaving the matter to the unfettered judgment and discretion of each and every employe; they conse- quently have never refused recognition of any properly organized labor organizatio! a conference for such purpose was ther fore unnecessary. If there are any other matters that Brewers’ Union, No. 118, de- sire considered it is suggested that they be, submitted in writing, and It is further suggested that hereafter all communi-za- tions from the Brewers’ Union should be sent to the respective breweries with whom It is desired io treat.” It was stated by the delegates from the Brewers’ Union that the foreman at Heur- ich’s brewery is not a member of their unton and refuses to employ members be- longing to their organization, and that as a result all the brewers in Heuricn’s brewery are nen-urfion. The matter was referred to Brewers’ Union, No. 118, with the request that they make an attempt to confer with the brew- ers in the matter, and they were informed if they have any special grievance against the brewers to bring the matter immediate- ly before the Central Labor Union, which body will give the subject prompt atten- ion. Communication and Business. A communication was also read from Pork Butchers‘ Union, No. 6423, of Kansas City, Kan., asking the ald of the Central Labor Union in their fight against the Armour Packing Company. The committee appointed to call cn Chair- man Babcock of the House District com- mittee in reference to the compiaint of the pavers that non-union pavers were being employed on city work to the exclusion of members of their organization reported that Mr. Babcock had communicated with the Commissioners in relation to the mat- ter. No answer has as yet been reccived from the Commissioners. The committee appointed to inquire into the report that Greason and Talty, the street contractors, were working men in Violation of the eight-hour law reported that, when inquiring, they had learned that the rumor was baseless. They, however, said they have ascertained that non-union pavers and curb setters were exclusively employed by the firm, and the matter was referred to the grievai commitiee, with instructions that if they found the state- ment to be a fact they would recommend that the name of the firm be placed upon the unfair list by the Central Labor Union. The special legislative committee Which to see S etary Herbert bricklayers in the navy yard reperted they had been requested to send an official ment of the matter to the Sec- a0, it was said, would give the matter prompt attention, and it was stated that this would be done. A communication was also read from Local Unions No 80, 85, 96, 101 and 1S of Lynn, Mass., which, it was stated, was indorsed by the Boot and Shoe Work- ers’ Union an the American Federa- n of Labor, ri ing the Central Labor the Thomas G. Plant que fon to help fizht Lynn, Mass. ‘The delegates from the Bricklayers’ Union yorted that in future their union would t in the large hall at Typographical te on the second and fourth Thursday evenings in each month; also that they had rented twa rooms in the temple for social purpeses ch will be kept open during day and evening. The painters reported that non-union painters were being employed on the new Columbia Theater, and that the contractor had refvsed to employ members of their union. The matter was referred to the grievance committee. Organizer Webb reported that next Sun- day te would have organized a union of one hundred plasterers, and that he was now in communication with the national headquarters of the craft in Philadelphia, and that he would probably in a few da: receive the recessary charter for the new organization. = The advantages of the Trade Unionist as the official organ of the Central Labor Union were brought to the attention of the body by President Spohn, and Messr: Moulden and Cross were appointed a co: mittee to call on the various unions con- nected with the C. L. U, in the interests of the paper. A communication was read from William |] Scott, recording secretary, Preston, and Samuel president of the Hod Carriers Union, 7776, stating that their organiza- 4 tion, at a meeting held October 5, 1893, freely gave their consent to Hod Carriers’ Union, No. 2, to affiliate with the Central Labor Union. It was_ stated that this action on the part of 7 Was necessary in order to give’ the other body a legal! standing in labor circles. ——— Takoma Park Republicans. One of the most Interesting meetings of the Takoma Park Republican Club was held last night at Takoma Hall, Maj. Daniel O'Driscoll preziding. The feature of the meeting was an address by the presi- dent of the club, Mr. Ashley M. Gould. This was the first time Mr. Gould had spoken at his home during the campaign, and he was greeted by a large and enthn- silastic audience. It is safe to say that there was ne disappointment on the part of the audience, as Mr. Gould made an ex- ceptionally brilliant address, holding the close attention of his hearers for more than an hour and a halt. —— Number 1 Cypress Shingles, every one guaranteel perfect, at $3.25 for 1,000; 4x20.

The District Federation of Women's Clubs met last night as guests of the Wo- man’s Bindery Association, @t the Typo- graphical Temple. Fourteen clubs were represented, and there were 300 women present. Mrs. M. S. Lockyood presided. Remarks were made by Mrs. Offtendinger cf Wimodaughsis on the opportunity young women now have for getting an education by means of the evening schools; by Mrs. Tanner of the Legion of Loyal Women, on the training afforded by the clubs in pub- lic speaking; by Mrs. Robinson of the Lerd-a-hand Club, on the age of protec- ticn; by Mrs. Sperry of the National Ptess Association, on association work; by Mrs. Platt of the W.C.T.U., by Mrs. Pollock of the Kindergarten Club, by Miss Smoot of the Bindery Association, and by Mrs. Lock- woo on association work. Miss Nellie MacNulty sang a kindergarten lullaby, and a letter from Miss Susan B. Anthony was read. Miss Anthony is now in California trying to have the word “male” stricken from the constitution of that state at the coming election. She expressed her an- noyance at reading in a Jewish paver about “the destruction of the home by the advocates of woman's suffrage.” Her let- ter said: “Only the Jewish, Catholic, Epis- copal and Unitarian religious denomina- tions have not indorsed us.” Refreshments were served after the ex- ercises, and the meeting adjourned until next month, — ROUSING MEETING. McKinley and Hobart Marching Club Grows Enthusiastic. The McKinley and Hobart Marching Club of this city heid a rousing and en- thusiastic meeting at the Globe building last night, Mr. B. H. Warner, vice presi- dent o7 the club, rresided, and with him on the platform were a large number of prominent local and Maryland republicans. During the course of the speeches the C. G. Conn Drum Corps marched into the hall and played a number of airs in a spir- ited manner. Music was also furnished by a quartet of gentlemen, and altogether the meeting wes made exceedingly lively out- side of the speeches which were delivered. Mr. Warner in the course of his introduc- tory speech took the cpportunity to de- nounce in strong terms the attack made by Mr. Stilson Hutchins in the Convention Hall debate on Senator Sherman. The main speaker of the evening was Col. Frank Supplee, a well-known business man and a member of the National Guard in Baltimore. Col. Supplee in a graceful and forceful speech of an hour succeeded ac- cording to the belief of his audience in \ery thoroughly demolishing the Chicago blatform. He reviewed the history of the republican party at some length, and pre- dicted that another great victory would be added to its list next fall. The state of Maryland itself would surely return a re- publican majority and would equally as surely fail to return Senator Gorman to the Senate next year. He held that the greatest Issue of the campaign was to throttle in iis birth the spirit of anarchy, which had raised the red flag in the city of Chicago, and which had been indor: by the Chicago platform and by the candi- date who stood on that platform. Mr. Tom C. Noyes was the closing speaker. During the meeting Col. Trainor and a delegation from the newly organized Maryland Re- publican Association entered the hall and irfermed Mr. Warner of his election as president of the club. The business meet- Ing of the club was fixed for Thursday night and next Monday night there will be another grand rally. = Civic Center. The Center Council of the Civic Center of Washington held a meeting yesterday af- ternvon at the First Congregational Church. Rey. Dr. Newman, pastor of the church, presided, and Mr. John 'T. Doyle -acted as secretary. Miss Hosmer, the corresponding secre- tary, reported that the council’s suggestion of placing waste receptacles at convenient stations about the city had been acted upon by the Commissioners and that about a hundred of the boxes had been placed at various points on trial. The Civic Center was invited, through a letter from Mr. b. M. Blake, chairman of the committee on the Federation of Labor, to unite with the local Federation of Labor in organizing a legislative council to consider and draft legislation for the mutual interest of all classes of the community. Four new members were admitted. They were Dr. Adair R. Thomas, Dr. Franz Jung, Mrs. C. H. Stowell and Mrs. Alla B. Foster. The committee of the secretaries of the council will fix the date for the an- nual meeting of the Civic Center, and it is expected it will be some time early in December. A DESERVED PROMOTION. The New Superintendent of Trans- portation of the B. and 0. Mr. Dennis F. Maroney, who for many years past nas been connected with the freight transportation’ service of the Balti- more and Ohio Railroad Company, and at present is chief of the car record service division at Baltimore, has been appointed by General Manager Greene superintendent of transportation of the road, and will en- ter upon the discharge of his new duties November 1. The position is a new one, having just been created. Mr. Maroney, though still a young -nan, has occupied positions of great responsi- bility at various periods for a long ttme, and his prometion is a tribute to the ex- ceptional zeal and fidelity with which he has performed every duty with which ke has been intrusted. For years Mr. Maroney handled the entire freight transportation business of the B. and O., and his return to the responsibili- ties attending that management, together with the additional duties attached to the Management of the passenger transporta- tion department, will, it is believed, be signaled by the speedy introduction of the most modern ideas in railway tmnsparta- tion business and the substitution of good coaches for the present uncomfortable cars which the B. and"O. so largely uses for carrying their suburban travelers. By reputation Mr. Maroney is known among railway men throughout the United States, and as a result he has frequently received flattering offers to take service with other companies, preferring to remain with the road upon which as a boy he be- gan the railroad business. ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS Political Activity Among All Parties--Many Meetings Being Held. Incendiarism — Escaped From Jail—A Memorial Font—Other Matters eof Interest. The regular weekly meeting of the Bryan, Sewall and Rixey Ctub was held in their rooms, in Sarepta Hall, last night, and a large number of the members were present. ‘Fonight at the samesplace there will be a large Bryan mass meeting, and many are expected to be present. Mr. R. Walter Moore of Fairfax and Col. Francis L. Smith of this city, two of the most elo- quent speakers in thfs vicinity, will address the club. In the new opera house there will be a mass meeting of sound money democrats, at which Mr. Henry-#. Davis of Wash- ington and Mr. Samuel G. Brent of this city will be the speakers. Arrangements have been made for a large and enthusias- tic meeting. Thursday night John M. Johnson will ad- dress the demccrats of Alexandria, and on October 27 John F. Rixey, the democratic candidate for Congress from this, the eighth, congressional district, will deliver an_address. The political situation is waxing warm, and the workers of all parties are hard at work, and one of the largest votes ever polled in this city will be the result. There are already several factions in the republican party, and the democrats are divided into gold and silver parties. Senator Daniel is expected to speak here Saturday night, and Chairman Lamb of the republican state committee on the 30th instant. Attempted Incendiarism. Some unknown persons szem bent upon destroying by fire as much property as they can, and they have made many at- tempts toward this end recently, Shortly before 10 o'clock last night an attempt was made to cet fire to a house, No. 713 Myrtle street, owned and occupied by Rich- ard Murphy. Shortly before 10 o'clock a lady, living in a house adjoining No. 71:33, heard an unusual noise in there, aid know- ing that Mr. and Mrs. Murphy were out of the city, notified Mr. Samuel Henry, a special watchman, who, on investigation, Giscovered a flickering light in the house. He blew his police whistle. to which Offs cer Roberts responded. They entered the house and found on examination that preparations had been made to burn the building. There was a pile of kindling wood and waste under the stairway leal- ing to the second floor, and a short ptece of lighted candle sticking in it. The candle would probably have burned two hours and the fire broken out and gotten well under way before the sleeping neighbors could have been awakened. The building and contents were insured. It is thought that the plant of the Alexandria Fertilizer and Chemical Company was set on fire by “fire bugs,” as absolutely no other reason can be assigned for it. ‘The police seem unable to cope with these people, who, in the dead of night, take possession of buildings and put a match to them. .The mayor has of- fered a reward for their arrest, but no clew has yet been obtaired. Escaped From Jail. John Murray, one of the white tramps who scme time ago held up three young men in the northwestern part of the city, and when arrested attempted to kill Pulize- man Weston Atkinsen, yesterday escaped from the city jail, where he was confined awaiting trial. Assistant Jailer John Mc- Cuen turned the prisoners out in the yard, which is surrounded by a-high stone wall, for exercise. When he went to put the men back in their cells it was discovered that Murray was not there. A thorough search of the jail was made, and it was found that the man. had made his escape. It ap- pears that when the other prisoners were taken in Murray remained in the yard and succeeded in climbing on the roof of a small building xnd from there to the resi- dence part of the jail, and from there It ts supposed he reached the wall and dropping to the ground Made off. City Sergt. W. H. Smith has offered a reward for the capture of the man. At alate hour this morning nothing had been heard of him. A Memorial Font. The bronze fountain which is to be erect- ed in Christ Church yard, at the corner of Washington and Cameron streets, in mem- ory of Rev. Henderson Suter, who was rec- tor of the church from 1878 to 1895, will be placed in position some time next month, and will be dedicated with appropriate ceremonies. It is to be placed in the center of a granite basin five feet in diameter. The fountain was designed by Mr. Glenn Brown, who has received a photograph from Bu- rean Bros. of Philadelphia, who will make the casting. : Police Court.

The work is not a play, and is not even claimgd to be such by its authors, but claims to give realistic Pictures of New York life, and more especially how the other half of the world lives. It deals with the efforts of a young girl, the Nelly Mc- Nally of the song, to reform a community, the Paradise Alley of the same ditty, and is @ powerful temperance lesson, calculated to develop several well-defined moral lessons as well. The alley when the girl enters it is one of the typical slums of the great metropolis, but through her influence it, is shown jn the last act a thoroughly cha! community. There are four acts, or pic- tures—an East river pier, two pictures in the neigaborhood of the alley and the alley itself, and Bronx Park. The scenery is beautiful, especially the last picture, which jg an exquisite autumn picture, with all the hues and tints for which that season of the year is famous. Mixed in with the morals and the splendid setting of the stage are several vaudeville turns and character sketches, which take away some of the sober thoughts engendered by the senti- ments of the play, and which give a sort of swing to the production. John D. Griffin as J. J. O'Grady, the chief fun maker, is good, and Mrs. Charles Peters as the ignorant but good-hearted Widow McNally fulfilled all expectations. John Walsh, Thomas E. Clifford, Louis H. Croxson and H. Frillman, together with the Ladies’ Verdi Quartet, contributed quartet numbers that were ex- ceptionally good, and Ethel Payne, Lottie Faust, John Daly and John J. Flynn give some clever dancing. While the character of Sunshine is rather impossible, Miss Bere- nise Norcross makes as much out of it as is possible, following out the lines set by her authors and adding to it her own grace and winsomeness. Sunshine is not the only impossible character in the piece, for there are several who would never be met with in real life, notably a reporter who is as unlike the genuine article as is the average Stage statesman or the traditional heavy villain. Grand Opera House.—“A Romance of Coon Hollow” came back to the Grand last evening for fresh laurels, and showed that it had not lost one jot in the popular favor by packing the house. “Coon Hollow” is tke conventional story of the revengeful scoundrel, the impulsive woman and her dupe and a happy lover—in the end; but is clothed in a new garb, with several catchy specialties, that give it new life, and did not lose the attention of the big audience as- sembled to see it. A feature of the pro- duction is a troupe of negro singers and Gancers who are very clever, and who add to the play with their clog and wing danc- ing and quartet singing. The setting of the stage Is very pretty and the incidental de- tails are all arranged with completeness. Miss Lillian Brainerd, as the woman vil- lain. was very good, while Miss Minnie Church, as the woman with the magnificent soul, played her part to perfection. Mr. L. D.*Blondell, as an aged negro, was aiso good, and with Miss Louise Arnot, as an old. maid, gave some splendid character work. J. F. Terris, as the duped moun- taineer; Clarence Belair, as the lover, and Eugene Powers, as the inventor, were all cod, while the smaller parts were intrust- ed to intelligent people. New National Taeater.—Loie Fuller w: enthusiastically greeted at the New Na- tioral Theater last night. The vaudeviile organization of which she is the central luminary presents no possibilities of aa eclipse for her. Fielding, the juggler, who has established himself as one of the clev- erest men in his line of entertainment Cushman and Holcombe, in operatic trav- esties, and Swift and Chase, musical artists, were the especially enjoyable features. It was Miss Fuller, however, who was the magnet of the occasion. There have been serpentine dancers by the score, but her supremacy in the field to which she has brought so much originality and sense of the beautiful continues unimpaired. She is a proof of the fact that an imitation is valued by the public only so long as the genuine article is not to be had. The ef- fects Miss Fuller attains with undulous expanses of silken film and the play of colored lights provoked frequent and pro- longed applause. In each of her crea- ticns there is something more than a be- wilderment of tints und curves. Each has the vivifying presence of an idea, and at times the poetic suggestion is such_as to entitle the performance to rank as true art. Fred. Hallen and Mollie Fuller are among those who also appeared. It was their initial performance with this com- pany. Academy of Music.—‘When London Sleeps,” which was produced last night for the first time in America, before a crowded house, may suit the English taste for melo- dramatic realism, but it will hardly do here. It has all the elements of a modern “blood and thunder" show—a deep-dyed vil- laim, a persecuted heroine made suddenly rich, a very heroic hero, the inevitable low comedian, who saves lives by wholesale; the benevolent lawyer, and the adven- turess, who reforms after three acts of un- mitigated meanness, to say nothing of a precocious child and a full assortment of other melodramatic accessories. Then, too, there is a circus, an attempted abduction, a “foil-l-led” diamend robbery, a burning house, an escape by a-telephone wire, sev- eral cases of assault and battery, a trap door for secret assassination, and finally a try by the villain at the living cremation of the heiress-heroine on an Indian shrine. ‘Thus there is material enough in the play for two or three ordinary performances. Were it not for one section of the depart- trent of realism there would be no ground for fault-finding, but in two scenes the play i3 gross, coarse, brutally suggestive of the worst phases of the night life of a great city, so revolting to the good taste and refinement of the average theater-goer of this city, at least, that last night many persons left the house in the midst of the performance. “When London Sleeps” needs a good deal of fumigation before it can be received by polite society. Bijou Theater.—Few farce comedies hav. enjoyed the popularity that has alway: been accorded “A Bunch of Ke; one of the best that Charles Hoyt ever wrote, and it has stood the test of years. It has just enough of plot to serve the pur- pose, and incidentally crowd into the two hours Gevoted to its unraveling a life-time of laughter. The play is presented this week, with an original New York cast. Ada Bothner, who long since made a repu- taticn as a soubrette, essayed the part of Teddy Keys and did it well. She is bright and vivacious, and the possessor of a very fair voice. George F. Hall, a well-known POWDER.

Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—The enter- tainment offered the public at Kernan’s this week is a pleasing one, and in many respects one of the best shows seen at that Popular resort this season. It is Weber's Olympia Company, and comprises not only @ number of new specialties, but several new faces. The performance commences with a novel creation, entitled “Fads and Fanctes,” introducing the entire strength of the company, and Miss Letta Meredith, @ burlesque queen of considerable beauty and chic. For the vaudeville part of the entertainment Pauline Black, with the as- sistance of a little tot in the gallery, sang several popular selections: Collins and Henshaw contributed a ten-minute special- ty that was clever. The feature of the show, however, in the “John Good Dance,” @ Japanese creation that is full ef ginger and entirely satisfactory. It is said this dance is similar to the one given at Kyoto Japan, in 1894, when the treaty of peace between China and Japan was ratified, and the inventor was made famous for it. Evans and Hoffman did a neat specialty, and Leslie and ‘Tenley repeated their for. mer success of the Hibernians. The musi- cal Whitney Brothers proved a rare treat and played upon almost e¥ery known in- strument. The performance ended with a first-class burlesque, entitled “Venus, the Beautiful Model Paul Dunbar’s Readings.—Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the negro poet, who has achieved considerable notoriety through the publish- ing of his book and the criticisms on it by Colonel Ingersoll, W. D. Howells and others, made his first appearance in Washington last night at tae Church of Our Father in series of read- ings, assisted by some local _ talent. Mr. Dunbar was introduced by Rev. Dr. Rankin, president of Howard University, and gave a number of extracts from his works. Mr. Dunbar possesses a full, rich, musical voice and a natural style of elo- cution, which is pleasing, and although te had arranged his program so as to bring a grave and a Nght number together, he was encored so frequently that it rather broke up the original arrangement. He gave a number of the productions from his book, and scored a complete success with his large audience, which was made up of colored and white auditors. Mr. Dunbar was assisted by Miss Beatrice Warrick, planist; Prof. J. T. Layton, baritone; Jo- seph Douglass, violinist; Charles 8. Worm- ley, baritone; Miss Loulse Hamer, soprano; Mrs. J. 8. Ball, soprano, and Mrs. Alice S. Davis, accompanist. he entertainment was fer the benefit of the Berean Baprist Church, and netted quite a sum for that institution. Benefit to Miss Dailey.—A benefit concert will be given at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, M_ street between 15th and 16th s.reets northwest, next Tuesday evening for Miss Lillian Z. Dailey, who was kidnaped at the age of five and held by her abductors for thirtee: years. The story of her final restcration to home and friends in this city throvgh the instrumentality of the San Francisco police has been told in the news- papers. The concert is not given, so the projectors of the affair state, because of the romantic adventures ot the young girl who is to be the beneficiary, but for the sole reason thet the circumstances are such as to render suck aid an absolute necessity until she has a chance to aid herself. Her mother is in a hospital at Boston, wrecked by the years of toil spent in the effort to find her lost child, while her relatives here were even unable to raise enough money to pay for her parsage from the west. Among those who have volunteered for the concert are Mrs. Lula Joy Brooks, soprano; Miss Louise Hamer, contralto; Mr. Wm. Good- rich, tenor; Mr. John T. Layton, basso; Mr. Joseph Douglass, violinist, and Mr. William Braxton, pianist. Besides these, Miss Dailey will relate her experiences dur- ing her thirteen years’ absence from home aud friends, and will also give a reading. —— He Hired a Newspaper. The President has removed John H. Lev is, postmaster at Black River Falls, Wis., and appointed David Thompson to succeed him. Levis was appointed December 11; 1803. In a recent political discussion it was asserted that Levis paid a large’ sum of money to a local newspaper to support his candidacy for the office, and a subsc- quent investigation by postal inspectors, the department claims, has substantiated these charges. le 1S IOPFEE GEESE DOS IISEOOOTESL 3 3 3 AIKE - 3 € Son 3 $ Sire ot rest poe! bealth, aba op goer > lool, prevent colds, pucumonia a > by taking “ 2 i ¢ € G 3 $ . 3 Sarsaparilla 3 The Rest—tn fact, the One True Blood Purifier. 4 & _HOOD'S PILLS are the only pills to take @ @ with Hood's Sursaparilla, D4 ry rs SOSCSTOSS IPSS OOS OSESSSOES Hotel Johnson Cafen.
