Referring to the published report that arshal Wilson is endeavoring to contrel the appointment of the criers of the Dis- trict Supreme Court, Marshal Wilson stated to a Star reporter today there is no truth whatever in the story. The marshal said he has at no time attempted to secure con- trol of the appointment of such court of- ficials, and has no desire or intention of disturbing the present mode of their ap- pointment, which is by the District Supreme Court. Marshal Wilson last May wrote to the civil service commission, asking to be in- formed whether the employes of his office are embraced under the ctvil service rules and regulations. That letter, as has been Stated In The Star, was referred to the At- torney General for an opinion. No repiy to been received by the marshal civil service commission, and the 1 does not even know whether the General has or has not reported M Attorne to the commission in the matter. The criers were mentioned in the mar- shal's letter, but only because they are paid out of the court house appropriation. Se Marriage Licenses.

THE PLASTERERS’ UNION ——_ = The regular weekly meeting last evening of the Central Labor Union, which was held at Typographical Hall, was of especial interest by reason of the fact that the re- port of the conference commitzee appointed to devise a plan for having a more har- monicus feeling between the three central labor bodies of the District of Columbia was presented. ‘President Spohn occupied ike chair and Mr. J. J. Crowley was secre- tary. The report, which was signed by Messrs. Milford Spohn, J. D. McKay, W. F. Weber, William Silver and William White, who represented the Central Labor Union in the matter, was adopted and was as follows: “To the Central Labor Union: The com- THE OFFICIAL | il ci sa TT rF ny Hea nan me 5 WEATHER EXPLANAIORY NOTE: Obecrvations taken at 8 a.m., TSth meridian time.

Forecast till 8 p.m. Wednesday—For the District of Columbia, Delaware and Mary- mittee of this body appointed to confer | land, generally fair tonight, alts by be with similar committees of the local Fed-| creasing clcudiness and threatening weal eration, D. A. 66, K. of L., and the Build- ing Trades Council, to secure, if possible, harmon‘ous relations between the several central bodies of this city, report that your committee met pursuant to resolutions of this body at Electrical Workers’ Hall, 50S lith street northwest, on November 8, 1896, at 2 o'clock p.m., for the purpose of con- sidering the objects stated in the resolu- tions adopted by the Central Labor Union November 2, 1806, and which are herewith appended. The committees of the Central Labor Union and Building Trades Council were the only committees present. Under these conditions, unable to secure a full conference, J. D. McKay was elected chair- man and W. F. Weber was chosen secre- tary and th2 purposes of the conference were informally considered. “It is regretted that D. A. 6G and the local Federation declined to participate and thus show a desire to restore friendly relations with the other bodies. When it is understood that the proposition was made ir good faith, and that no suggestion would have Leen made which would require the sacrifice of the least principle of union- ism, or which would in any way affect the integrity or stability of any organization the refusal of these budies to join with us in friendiy endeavor forces the single con- clusion that they desire discord rather than harmony and prefer enmity to amity. “Your committee with a spirit of concilia- tion was prepared to submit and admit Measures honorable alike to ail, with an earnest desire to establish amicable rela- tions waicn should exist between the labor bodies of the District. That they did not succeed is not chargeable to them, and if in the future dissensions should occur and thoze conditions rhould prevail to the in- jury of those allied with the K. of L., they alone must bear the responsibility. Your committee asks to be discharged from further consideration of the matter.” An ord-r was also adopted that the re- port be spread on the minutes and the committee were discharged from the fur- ther consideration of the subject, with the thanks of the organization for their labors on the subject referred to in the report. Other Business. A communication was read from Presi- dent Gompers of the American Federation of Labor, in which an appeal was made for financial aid for the striking street railway employes of Milwaukee. ‘The appeal was referred to the local or- ganizations affillated with tke Central Labor Union, with the recommendatior that it be favorably considered and finan- cial assistance sent as requested. A communication was read from National Secretaries E. Kurzenknabe and C. ¥. Bechtold of the National Union of the United Brewery Workmen of the United States, conveying the information that the executive board of the American Fed- eration of Labor at its recent meeting in- dorsed the union label of the National Union ané requested that similar action be taken by the Central Labor Union. The request was complied with and referred to the labei committee for further action. A communication was read from Secre- tary C. A. Maidens of the local Federa- tion of Labor, containing the reasons of that body for postponing action on re- quest of the Central Labor Union for a “peace conference,” which were that “at the meeting of the federation at which the lette> from the Central Labor Union on tke subject was read the attendance was so small that action was deferred for two weeks, so that the organizations affil- jated with the Federation might be able to be heard from, and to be able to take ac- tve part in so estimable an object as the Central Labor Union contemplates and as proposed.”” ‘The communication was courteously re- ceived and placed on file, but the repiy frem D. A. 66, K. of L., relative to the same matter was ordered spread on the minutes and a special committee of three was appointed to prepare a suitable answer denying certain statements made therein. The communication complained of, and which was signed by Secretary Clements, was as follows: D. A. 66's Answer. “Your proposition of November 3 for a jcint conference was received and present- ed before the District Assembly at our meeting of November 5. After a careful consideration of the same, I was directed to reply as follows: ‘The District Assembly cannot, in justice to its local assemblies (of which quite a number of your members are suspended and expelled members), favor- ably grant your request. The credentials of the Operative Plaster- ers’ Union, which was recently organized under a charter of the American Federa- tion of Labor, were presented and referred to the committee on credentials, which re- ported favorably. An interesting debate followed, during which a slight opposition was developed to the seating of the delegates, but when the vote on the report of the committee was taken, the report was adopted by an al- most unanimous vote. The objection to the admission of the plasterers by several of the delegates was, it was alleged, that the plasterers would not maintain the prevailing rate of wages and hours in the District, but the commit- tee reported that such was not the fact: that they were working according to the schedule laid down by the proper authori- tes in every particular. ‘The president of the Painters and Dec- orators’ Union, No. 170, was accorded the privileges of the floor to make a statement relative to the action of Painters’ Assem- bly in an alleged attempt of that body to disrupt their organization. He said that the assembly had made a persistent effort to control their organization by encouraging members of the assembly to join the union, although their principles were different. the object being to produce discord in the Castoria Fe ‘or.

Concert for the Home for Unemployed Workmen. The concert ‘which is to be given this evening at the Church of Our Father, cor- ner 18th and L streets, for the benefit of the Temporary Home for Unemployed Workmen, promises to be a decided artistic success, and the friends of this worthy charity hope that it will be equally suc- cessful from a financial point of view. The following well-known ladies and gen- tlemen have generously volunteered their services for the occasion: Miss Alice E. Burbage, Miss Julia A. Seaman, Miss Mamie Donnelly, Miss Florence Henri King, Mr. Wm. H. Conley, Dr. E. G. Sel- bert, Prof. Bischoff and Mrs. Browning. ‘The home was established during the blizzard of February, 1895. During the first year it furnished 3,780 lodgings and 11,788 meals to homeless men. It has been sup- ported entirely by contributions from pri- vate parties, with the generous assistance of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, and this is the first time an appeal has ever been made to the public for aid. In the first annval report of the workings of the home appears the following: “We have pounds to shelter and feed stray animals, public and private schools and libraries for the instruction of our children, hospitals for the sick and the in- jured, prisons for the law-breakers, homes for the aged, asylums for the orphans, the deaf, the dumb, the blind and the insane, but no place of refuge for the discharged prisoncr or the ragged, half-starved out- cast, who, if he begs in the street for a few pennies with which to procure shelter or food, is at once arrested, imprisoned and condemned to work out his sentence in the chain gang. Under such circumstances, what are these unfortunates to do? The only alternative left them fs to steal, to starve or to commit self-destruction. “The need of a practical plan for the per- manent benefit of this class of men has long been felt by our people, and particu- larly so by all those engaged in reform work in the prisons, hospitals and other institutions of our city, who realize that the good results which might reasonably be expected from their arduous labors in these institutions fall far short of public expectation. But this result is not to be wondered at when we take into considera- tion the fact that the good work begun in prison or elsewhere among these people must terminate upon their discharge from such institutions, owing to the lack of suitable places of immediate shelter, where the timely assistance, so absolutely neces- sary to the successful completion of the good work already begun, may be carried on and the subject prepared to face the world again as a law-abiding and self-re- specting citizen.” — Hotel Arrivals.

In the n-eantime the rumor had reached his home at Tenleytown that he was dead, and his wife lost no time in coming to town. She was happily disappointed, and carried the injured wan home in a carriage. Mr. Hay’s Lecture. Mr. E. B.

Gurley, who died Sunday evening, in the seventy- sixth year of her age, was held this after- ncon at 4 o'clock from the chapel in Oak Hill cemetery. The hydrant at the corner of 33d and Canal streets is out of order, and greatly inconveniences the residents of the neigh- berhood, the houses in that locality not having water service.

Persons Who Have Written Here for Information. Register of Wills McGill has received a letter from Thomas Dolan of Clancavid, Kilecgy, Granard, Ireland, asking for in- formation relative to one James Moore of Mullinooe, county of Longford, Ireland, who emigrated to this country early this or the last of the past century, and who died in this country between 1820 and 1836, Teaving a will in favor of Pat or Patrick Dermoody or McDermott, both names be- ing the same in Ireland. The beneficiary is now dead, and his heirs, finding no copy of More's will, have written here, asking if the original will is on file in this city. Daan says he believes that some one here is con- cocting 4 scheme to rob him and the other heirs, the party having sent, he says, a man to Ireland recently to obtain informa- tien on which to support the alleged scheme. Mr. McGill thinks Dolan has been mis- led, as the only James Moore whose will is on file here died in 1848, and bequeathed his estate to his children, David, George or MeGin ir. McGill has also received a letter from Philip Lucas of St. Aubon’s Road, Isle of Jersey, claiming to be the legal’ heir of Charles Hamon. He says Hamon or Ham- mend was born in the Isle of Jersey, and was supposed to have been a large’ ship owner, merchant and landed proprietor dying intestate, without issue, in America between 1840 and 1848. The ‘alleged heir wishes to know “if the money has gone in chancery at Washington,” and if the name can be found on the records here. Mr. McGill has replied to the effect that the records of his office show no trace of such name or estate. ——_— BROKE UP THE MEETING. Skeeter Johnsen Assaulted the Pre: dent and Sergeant-at-Arms, George Johnson, alias “Skeeter” Johnson, @ ycung colored man who is well known in South Washington, both to the police and a large circle of acquaintances, whe fear him, caused a postponement in the McKinley Club meeting last night. wis Willis is president of the club, while Then man Dorsey is sergeant-at-arms and James W. Pce is one of the members of the club. The fact that the election has been held has not had the effect of closing the busi- ness of the club. The club has seven mem- bers, so it was stated in the Police Court today when “Skeeter” Johnson was called upon to explain why he had made an ez- fort to disable the president and sergeant- at-arms. One of the members thought that “Skeeter” had a razor and he was afraid ot being too deeply barberized. On the other hand, one of them thought he had a “volver,” and said he could see it glisten- ing against the gas light. As a matter cf fact “Skeeter” only had a small knife, and this was taken from him by Policemen Muller and Curry, who arrested him on the street where the trouble happened. According to the claims made against him, “Skeeter” wanted to act as the cluo’s financia. secretary, for he thought there might possibly be some money to handle, although there was no reason why the club should be under expense, for the meet- ings were held in private houses, His first assault was made on Presi- dent Lewis Willis, and when he ran the policemen caught him. Then it was that Tilghman Dorsey had something to say, and for which he felt the weight vf “Skeeter’s” fist against his face. ‘This hap- pened while he was in custody, and when Dorsey got. in the patro! wagon to enjoy a ride to the police station Johnson at- tempted to repeat what he had already done to him. If “Skeeter” had really made an effort for recognition as the financial secretary of the club he had forgotten it. He had taken a few drinks and said he had of- fered to treat Willis to a drink, but when the latter attempted to ring Dorsey in for a drink he objected. So far as the as- sault on Dorsey was concerned ke ad- mitted his guilt, but denied that he had touched Willis. Denials of the prisoner's statement about treating were heard, and the court fined Johnson $10 in each case. ee Transfers of Real Estate. Eleventh street between G and H streets north- west—Jobn H.

A representative gathering of the citi- zens of Washington, including many of the best known society people of the capital, the best bicycle racers in this part of the country and an excellent track on which to compete for the handsome and costly prizes offered, will be the features of the race meet to be held tomorrow afternoon at Columbia Field, corner 17th and C streets, at 2 o'clock, for the benefit of the Eugene Field monument fund. Although the event is a postponed one, there is reason to believe that it has bene- fited by the short lapse of time, and every evidence on hand poimts to a singularly successful occasion. The financial success has been assured by the hi sale of tickets, which have been disposed of among the cabinet, the members of the Su- preme Court, the diplomatic corps, and, in fact, to all classes of the capital's popula- tion. The interest which has been mani- fested in the event has more than come up to the expectations of those having the matter in charge, and no fear is felt on the score of being able to add only a small con- tribution to the fund, which is intended to perpetuate the memory of one of the great- est writers for children that ever lived. Equally as well assured is the success of the event as a bicycle meet. There is probably not a good rider in this section that has not entered for one or more of the events, while all the well-known crack riders have signified their intention of ccmpeting for the prizes, which will more than compensate them for their work. The list of entries, as printed in Saturday's Star, shows what the meet will be in this regard. * The two committees in charge have about finished all of the work connected with the enterprise and are now awaiting the re- sult. A great deal of commendation is due the members of these two bodies for their efficient work in preparing the details of the meet, and all have displayed the great- est amount of enthusiasm and interest in it. The central committee at Citicago has also done everything in its power to make the affair a success, and the long list of valuable prizes that has been sent through its office from the western metropolis at- tests its interest in it. This list, as well as that of the Washington prizes, has also been given in The Star. The chief secretary of the Eugene Field monument fund of Chicago, Mr. Henry W. Tiernan, arrived in this city yesterday a! ternoon, and will remain here until Thurs- day. The principal object of his visit to the capital is to attend the races tomor- row afternoon. Mr. Tiernan is also an honorary members of the monument com- mittec, and his share in the work of pre- paring the prizes to be sent from Chicago _ | seeeec4ugranrs EESED 4 Eebecrce = REED SSF a Ee 3 ELS.
