Yesterday morning a bvsiness meeting was held, when the schedule of exercises for the next meeting, which is to be held at Herndon next spring, was arranged. At 11 o'clock ser- vices were held and a forcible sermon was preached by Rev. E. S. Hinks, who took for his subject the word “Christian.” At 3:30 o'clock an interesting address on Sunday school work was delivered by Rev. H. L. Duhring of Philadelphia. Last night the ccnvocation closed with missionary ser- vices, addresses being delivered by Bishop Newton, Rev. L. L. Kinsolving and Rev. Dr. McGill. Corporation Court. The foliowing business was transacted in the corporation court yesterday, Judge J. K. M. Norton presiding: J. W. Burson agt. R. A. Knight; the answer of the garnishee and the account ¢f set-offs were filed. The case of M. T. Henderson agt. Thomas Burns was dismissed. In the suit of Susan Fletcher agt.

On that day the registrars of the city will be at the various voting precincts all day to register such persons as may apply. Under the new law there can be no voting upon transfers ae here- tofore. Strike on the Chain Gang. Olonzo Simms, white, and Mcses Com- fort and Frank Payne, colored, members of the chain gang, went on a strike yester- day, In consequence of which they are now locked up at the station house, undergoing the bread and water diet treatment. Simms came to this city about a year ago on a tramp. He has been before the mayor sev- eral times, charged with drunken, disorder- ly and indezent conduct. He refuses to pay fines imposed or work on the chain garg, claiming that he is suffering from a chronic disability. Until the city, council adopts some. method by which such char- acters can be brought under proper disci- pline, many persons ‘believe that it would be better to abolish the gang,.as it le gen- erally regarded as an expensive institu- ticn at best. = Mass Meeting Last Night. Mr..John M. Johnson last night address- ed a meeting of citizens of Alexandria at the Opera House, under the auspices of the Bryan, Sewall and Rixey Club. The hall was comfortably well filled.

M., held a regular meeting last night, and several candidates were initiated. Colored Artisans and Trade Unions. To the Editor of The Evening 'Stur: Will you kindly allow me a little spaze? I don’t know anything about the merits cf the Carter case—in fact, I know noth- ing about it but what I have read in The Star—and I have- nothing to say in regard to it; but I want to call attention to the fact that Mr. Robert H. Terrell, in his letter in last evenings Star, writes as one altogether misinformed, or as-one trying to create a false. impression as to the po- sition of tae Typographical Union in re- gard to the color line. Mr. Terrell mentions the case cf Mr. Douglass, which occurred -twenty-seven years ago, and even in this case does ihe local union an injustice. ,But that is an old story. The gentleman failed to mention that very shortly after the Douglass case a colored man was admitted to the union, and worked in the goverament printing office, and that since that time a great many others have been admitted and have done likewise. In fact, the Typograpiical Union makes no invidious distinction as to sex, “race, color or previous condition of servitude.” Nor do I know of any labor union that does. Mr. Terrell won’t help the colored brother any by antagonizing trades wnions, than whom, as a matter of fact, the said brother has no better friend. he general govern- ment would be kept pretty busy tinding em- ployment for all the ¢oloréd artisans now working side by side with white workmen, and members of the sgme unions, were the said unions to refuse, as Mr. Terrell al- leges, to “‘allow them ‘to follow with profit and in peace” their vatious ycoupations. . HL. W. a The Money Came Too Late. Mrs. Kate Bascom of Clinton, Mo., killed herself and her four-year-old son, George, at a lodging house in Oak street, Kansas City, Wednesday night by closing the door and windows.of the room and turning on the gas. Mrs. Bascom went to the house last Saturday. She was without money, but said that she expected money by every mail from her husband at Clinton. Day after day passed and the money did not come, and she became so despondent that she re- solved to kill herself and ier son. The letter containing the money came yester- day afternoon, and when the lodging house keeper went to Mrs. Bascom’s room with it she found mother and son dead. +H _ + e«_____ Delta Upsilon Convention.

Plans of the Southern Company—Make The future of the Seaboard Air Line con- tinues to be an absorbing topic of interest among the railway men of the country. While it is probable that the whole matter as to its future permanent control will be settled in the course of a week or ten days, the only thing definitely known at this time is that the ownership of the stock is now vested in the syndicate headed by Messrs. Ryan and Thomas of New York, and Gen. John Gill of Baltimore. For a day or two within the past week there was a fear among those who were financially interested in having the owncr- ship of the road transferred to the Ryan people, the supposed representatives of the Southern Railway Company, that one of the holders of a big block of stock who had agreed to sell to the pool would back out, but he was persuaded to stand by his original promise. Had the defection oo- curred, it is stated in New York the pool which had secured over 4,000 shares of stcck would have been deprived of the control desired by the syndicate. A report that the Southern Railway Com- pany’s friends were willing to pay $300 per Share for the Seaboard stock sooner than disappointed in getting the property caused Seaboard stock to rapidly appre- ciate in value. It is stated that a number of shares were purchased for account of the syndicate at $125 a share each. As the case now stands, Mess: and Thomas have®secured 5,00 share ‘of stock which was held by the pool headed by President R. Curzon Hoffman, and Gen. Gill has 2,700 shares, besides which the friends of Messrs. Ryan and Thomas have bought up scattering shares which aggre- gate about 1,300 more, thus giving the syn- dicate a total of about 9,000 shares out of a 11,000, the number issued, and it was necessary for the sy di- cate to secure in order to control the road under the terms of its charter. It is generally understood that some of the heaviest stockholders of the Seavoard who had placed their money in the securi- ties as a permanent investment, and until @ few months ago were entirely satisfied with what they had done in the mrtter, were impelled to sell out, because they aid not went to incur the vexations and anxieties Incident to another disastrous rate war aoyeey it, Was belleved would curre er prettedinag € proposed deal fallen Should there be no further hitch arrangements and the Seaboard rracticaliy become a part of the Southern system, it is believed that the Southern Railway Com- y build a line of its own from At- lanta, Ga., to New Orleans, or if not be- tween those two cities, certainly from Montgomery, Ala., to New Orleans. The Southern already runs its trains into New Orleans, but to do so {s compelled to use the Loutsville and Nashville tracks between Montgomery and New Orleans, while between Atlanta and Montgomery it uses the Alabama and West Point road, which is one of the Ryan-Thomas proper. ties, but which is beileved to be in entire harmony with the Southern, With that portion of its route which lies between Montgomery and New Orleans the situation is different, as it is withia the power of the Louisville ard Nashville to shut the Southern’s trains off the road of the former at Montgomery and keep it out of New Orleans should it be disposed to do 30, contracts to the reverse notwith- standing, and as the officials of the L. and N. are quite aggressive in their course when occasion demands, the Southern is at their mercy to an extent which is said to be not relished by the owners of the Southern. Surveying parties who were lookin for a desirable new route between Atlanta and New Orleans have recently made a thor- ough investigation of the territory be- tween the two cities, and, it is said, ascer- tained that a line between Atlanta and ew Orleans could be constructed which would be in every way as desirable and at the same time considerably shorter than the present route. It was reported ai the time the surveys were made tha: the work was in the in- terest of the Seaboard Air Line, but it is now believed that it was really the enter- prise of the Southern Railway Company. Color is also given to the report that the Southern will soon begin to extend its lines in the southwest, because, as is gen- erally understood in railway circles, the relations between the Southern and ihe Louisville and Nashville are not of th most harmonious character, and if a con- flict of interest should occur the present traffic arrangements between the two roads might not be continued. —— ae FIRE AT BROOKLYN. Damage Estimated $250,000 and a Fireman Killed. A aisastrous fire occurred at Brooklyn last night, which resulted in the loss of one life, the injury of several persons, and the destruction of property amounting to about $250,000. The five-story brick fac- tory building situated on 7th street be- tween 2d and 3d avenues was destroye The building had a frontage of AW feet, and extended back 150 feet, with a three- story frame extension adjoining. It was shortly after the fire began that Alfred Beaumon, a fireman attached to engine No. 39, with the assistance of Fore- man Bixby and Fireman John Quigley, was carrying a hose through the exten- sion, when they were caught in a back draught. Bixby and Quigley managed to gain the street, but Beaumon was unable to do 0. A rescuing party consisting of James J. Ryan, assistant foreman of truck No. and Franklin Ferguson and Louis Blair of engine compary No. 5 attempted to make their way through the burning ruins. They were all severely burned, but man- aged to reach Beaumon, who, however, had been burned to death. Less than an hour after the fire started the structure fell in with a terrific crash. By hard work the adjoining property was savéd. The building was owned by O. K. A. Weissner, who places his total loss on building, stock and machinery at $200,000, partially ireured; Krym and Wauthers Brothers, $10,000, and the Etta knitting mills about $40,000. The greater part of this loss is covered by insurance. ~~ WEYLER’S PROCLAMATION. GEN. Inhabitants of the Country Must Go in Eight Days. Captain General Weyler at Havana has issued a proclamation containing the fol- lowing provisions: First—All of the inhabitants in the coun- try or outside the lines of fortifications of the towns must betake themselves to the towns occupied by troops within a period of eight days.
