MEMBERS WHO HAVE DEPARTED President Marbury Refers to the . Past Year's -Record. as CALLING ON THE PRESIDE. Observing its time-honored custom, the Oldest Inhabitants’ Association of the Dis- trict of Columbia held a regular meeting at its rooms in the Corcoran building this morning and then called upon the President of the United States. The membership of the association num- bers nearly one hundred, and today’s meet- ing was unusually largely attended, Presi- dent John Marbury, jr., presiding, assisted by Corresponding Secretary J. Madison Cutts and Marshal J. A. Wineberger. In calling the meeting to order, after wishing all a very happy and prosperous new year, President Marbury feelingly referred to the death during the year 1896 of the following members: F. W. Pilling, J. H. Thompson, Andrew Schwartz, C. W. Bennett, J. Glick, Morris Murphy, John B. Hines, Ed- win R. McLean, James D. Hendley and Geo. L. Sherwood. Mr. Pilling, he explain- ed, was not only the eldest member atthe jation, but was also about the eldes' ifese He and Mr. Thompson and Mr. Bennett had reached the honorable age of four score years, and they and the other deceased members had died rich in the re- gard and respect of not only their fellow members, but also in that of the community that had so long and so well known them. They had passed away with no fear of Geath, for they had lived well and nobly, and were now enjoying the reward for such lives. President Marbury trusted that the “grim destroyer” would deal lentently with the remaining members during the new year, ard that all would enjoy health and piosperity. They have much to be thank- ful for, he remarked, for they live in the most beautiful city on earth and in the grandest country known to man. “With hoary crowns,” solemnly remarked Mr. William Beron, “with thanks to heaven, that we survive the dawn of 1897. After the minutes of the previous meeting had been read and approved Mr. Joseph Prather, chairman of the finance oom- mittee, reported that they had examined the books of Treasurer Robert Ball and had found them to be correct and faithfully kept. The books showed that the assets of the association amount to $1,108.26, and that the following had been elected to membership during 1896: Henry M. Dell- inger, Walter C. Johnson, Charles Behrens, J. 8. Tomlinson, 8. E. Mullan, Simon Wolf, Patrick Caton, John T. Clark, R. Ross Perry, A. McConnell and John Connors. The report was adopted with a vote of thanks for Treasurer Ball. Dr. J. W. Clark, who has been a member of the association for twenty-eight years, asked that his resignation be accepted. He explained that he made the request only because he found it very difficult to attend the meetings. But the association unant- mously refused to accept the resignation, and then Dr. Clark was induced to with- draw it, after President Marbury, Secre- tary Cutts, Mr. Peter Dubant and Mr. Wm. Beron had referred to Dr. Clark as one of the most valued members of the association. President Marbury referred to the re- cent reunion of the association, the sug- gestion and success of which were due, he said, to Mr. Dubant, expressing the hope that many more such celebrations would be had. Mr. Dubant acknowledged the compliment, and at his suggestion the Proposition for holding another. such affair was postponed until the next meeting. Mr. Beron called attention to the long and honorable history of the association, remarking that he believed that it should be recognized by the committee having in charge the inauguration of President-elect McKinley, that the association might be given a position in the coming inaugural ceremonies and parade. Secretary Cutts concurred in Mr. Beron’s suggestion, and upon his motion the president of the asso- clation was empowered to appoint a com- mittee of three for the purpose of confer- ring with the inaugural committee in the matter. As such committee, President Mar- bury appointed Secretary Cutts, Dr. Josepn T. Howard and Marshal Wineberger, and also authorized the committee to select an orator for the celebration of Washington's birthday, and to make other necessary ar- rangements for that celebration. President Marbury then announced that the hour for calling upon the President of the United States for the purpose of pay- ing their respects had arrived, end after he had congratulated the members upon the large number present, as well as upon the presence with them of Mr. Crosby 8. Noyes, a member, and the editor of Wash- ington’s greatest paper, the meeting was declared adjourned. venerable mar- shal of the association then formed the members in lne, and, preceded by Prest- ae Marbury, they proceeded to the White use. Among the members present and who called upon the President were the follow- ing: President John Marbury, jr., Record- ing Secretary J. Madison Cutts, Marshal J. A. Wineberger, E. H. Bates, Wm. Beron, 3, T. Bolseau, Andrew Barbour, C. B. Church, Dr. J. W. Clark, W. D. Crampsey, P. M. Dubant, Henry Dellinger, Rudolph Eichorn, Thos. W. Fisher, D. E. Geneau, Dr. Joseph T. Howard, E.

The Commissioners have issued orders that a lamp post be erected on 4th street southeast between-D and E streets. That 750 feet of 12-inch sewer and two manholes be constructed in Bunker Ain road, from 7th street westward, under per- mit system. That 610 feet of @inch water main be laid on both sides of O street between 20th and 30th streets northwest. That license as master plumber and gas fitter be issued to Chas. J. Purcell upon — that he first file the customary bond. That a public hydrant be erected on Con- necticut avenue near the entrance to the Zoological Park; estimated cost, $176. Private Daniel O'Connor of the District fire department has been removed from the force, the order therefor to take effect to- day. —_>—__. A Charge of Desertion. * Senator Peffer has been requested to have removed the charge of desertion from the record of Presidential Elector Linton of Cherryville, Kan. He said today that it could be accomplished only by special act of Congress, but that the charge could not affect Mr. Linton's status as an elector, as he never had been tried by either a court- martial or in the civil courts. An investi- gation of the records, he said, shows that Mr. Linton left the army near the close of the war, after serving through several camp iigns. SPECIAL NOTICES.

Preparations that have been made to re- ceive undesirable inaugural visitors, ; The Washington Harvard Club. The Washington Harvard Club held a largely attended meeting yesterday in the Post-graduate room of thé Columbfan Uni- versity. The meeting was called for the purpose of electing officers for the ensuing year and of making arrangements for the forthcoming banquet of the club. President Edward Lander, '35, presided at the meet- ing and Rev. J. McBride Sterrett acted as secretary. A number of new members were enrolled and the standing committees of the club submitted their reports. * The election of officers was postponed until the next meeting, at which time the committee on nominations will complete its work and submit the names for the various offices. The annual banquet will be held on the evening of Wednesday, Feb- ruary 3, and promises to be a most success- ful affair, as the sons of fair Harvard in this city are many and enthusiastic, and their annual reunions are always delightful affairs. The place for hojding the banquet has not yet been selected. A committee to arrange all the details was appointed, con- sisting of Dr. Frank T. Howe, M¥. cc. Benney’and Mr. Charles Moore. At the meeting yesterday the following new members were enrolled: Rey. Her- bert Scott Smith, class '94; Alex. G. Bell, (98; C. W. Dorsey, '96; Ralph 3. Hosmer, *94; F.C.

Resolutions will be adopted at this meeting and plans will be formulated for the future government of the league on this question. According to statements to a Star reporter today it is probable thas the Commiesioners and ask that all other noises in addition to those made by the ing made with a special view of prohibit- ing the ringing of church bells, which, it will be claimed, do more to disturb the People residing in the’ neighborhood of churches announcing their services through the ringing of bells, than all the noises made by newsboys in a month. Mr. William A. Croffut had a short con- ference with Gen. William A. Birney on this subject this morning d appears highly indignant over the action of the Commissioners. Speaking to a Star repor- ter today Mr. Croffut said: “The main objection asserted by the min- isters is that the noises made by these boys interferes with the public worship, but the police regulation which has been in force in this city for a long time does not permit the boys to cry their papers except between the hours of 8 and 10:30 a.m. Sundays. As most of the services in the churches here do not, begin until 11 o'cleck it 1s difficult to see why the enforce- ment cf this regulation would not do all that the ministers desire. If there are ob- Jections to enforcing the regulation the same objections will hold with double force im regard to a regulation preventing the calling of the papers altogether. “‘Whetier it is intended or not, the prac- tical operation of this regulation will be in the interest of a trust. If news stands | are established at street corners, and Rev. Mr. Ennis intimated before the board of Commissioners yesterday afternoon that he would not be opposed to such a solution of the question, it will result in the busi- ness of selling papers being thrown into the hands of the owners of these stands. It is hardly worth while arguing that such stands may be established and run by a ten or twelve-year-old boy, whose sole capigal is 50 cents or $1. The most likely result would be that the stands would come eventually under the control of a news company. “I cannot see that this order of the Com- missioners is anything less than an out- rage perpetrated upon these little boys. Accordirg to this regulation, every news. boy who calls his wares at any time on Sunday is to be arrested, hauled to court and fined $5 or sent to jail when he has no money. “Is it possible that such self-respecting men as the Commissioners are going to enforce this abominable and cruel order, which, in a moment of inadvertence, they have issued? ——_»___ Transfers of Real Estate. ‘Third and I streets s.e.—W.

Prenderville, a carpenter, was treated yesterday at Emergency Hospital for a cut head and a broken nose as a re- sult of a street fight. Prenderviile obtained his discharge from the navy about six weeks ago. He had some difficulty with a couple of strangers, whom he met on the street, and in the fight which followed the ex-sailor got the worst of it. J.D. Marshall, fifty-six years old, a clerk in the bureau of education, was takei to Emergency Hospital yesterday after- noon suffering from an attack of heart dis- ease. When he had partially recovered he was taken home in a cab by friends. Brief services’ will take place this after- noon at 5 o'clock over the remains of Capt. W. H. Parker of Richmond, Va., who died in this city Wednesday. The remains will be shipped to Norfolk, where services will be held tomorrow at Christ Church. J. B. Johnson, colored, forty-five years old, fell while getting off a car near Flori- da ‘avenue and 7th street last night, and was slightly injured. He was sent to his home, No. 2460 6th street northwest. Yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock Ni 1 engine company was called to the unoc- cupied house of Major Beach of New York, No. 1811 H street northwest. The alarm was sounded because smoke was seen com- ing from the house, but as the smoke was made by workmen the firemen had nothing to do. Yesterday afternoon the police were ask- ed to lock out for Clem Lewis, a colored man twenty-four years old, who disappear- ed from his home in South Washington several days ago. His mother has an idea that something has harpened to him, for he is not a drinking man, and has never before been in trouble. Sergt. Bryan of the ninth precinct has been transferred to the third precinct. His place will be filled by Sergt. Jordan, who is transferred from the third precinct. The trensfer was made at the request of the men.- The big whistle on Smith’s sawmill was missed last night when thewhistles through- out the city were announcing the last of the old year and the first of ‘the new. This whistle used to make more noise than the railroad whistles in the Baltimore and Ohio yard, brt the recent fire silenced it. In accordance with their annual custom, the superintendent of construction of the new city post office and his assistants, to- gether with the inspectors, contractors and others on duty in the superintendent's of- fice, posed for a group photograph this morning. The picture was taken on the steps of the main entrance on the Pennsyl- vania avenue front. There were about twelve persons in the group. Superinten- dent Kinsey kas the photographs of for- mer occasions for four years back, which he keeps as souvenirs. The police made no effort to interfere with persons who celebrated the going out of the old and the coming in of the new year except where deadly weapons were used. Several arrests for using pistols were made. John M. Reuth sent fifty loaves of bread to the eighth police precinct yesterday to be given to the poor. The bread was dis- tributed by the officers. The hydrant on the Bladensburg road near Florida avenue is out of order and is in need of the pump doctor. At ist and N Streets the hydrant is in need of repair.

INVITED HIMSELF, Republicans Will Certainly Control the Next Legislature. CANDIDATES FOR THE SENATORSHIP The Fight to Narrow Down to Sherman and Bushnell. NOCABINET NEWS Correspondence of The Evening Star. COLUMBUS, Ohio, December 31, 1896. The result of the recent election in this state leaves no doubt that the republicans will be able to control the next legislature, which will be chosen next fall, and which will choose the successor of Senator Sher- man, Even with the full support of the populists, who control 5,000 votes in the state, the democrats fell over 50,000 short of carrying the state. The democrats can- 1.0t hope for sueh support from the popu- lists under any circumstances next year, and the probability is that there will be no aitempt at fusion in the coming siate elec- tion. The certainty that the choice of a senator will fall to the republicans has stirred the republican leaders, and especial- ly the probable candidates, to activity thus early in the campaign. Of course, until the legislature {s elected, most of the work will be done under ¢over. Nevertheless, the republican legislative contests will be con- ducted largely under the leadership of the different candidates for the senatorship. Gov. Bushnell’s Advantage. Governor Bushnell, who is regarded as the most formidable opponent of Senator Sherman, undoubtedly enjoys a great ad- vantage in the official position he holds. He can make of the patronage in his hands a powerful lever for controlling the political machine. This patronage in the hands of Governor McKinley, who was in sympathy with Sherman in the senatorial contest six years ago, is generally credited with the de- feat of Foraker for this seat at that time. McKinley took little pains to conceal the fact that he favored the election of Sher- man, and it was quite apparent that he threw the influence of his administration to his support. For this reason Foraker keenly felt his defeat, and at the time made some very plain utterances on the subject. Though he has shown no feeling against McKinley on this account lately, no doubt he would like to see the patronage of the governor's office used by his friend, Gov- error Bushnell, to work the defeat of Sher- man at this time. Other Candidates. Unless Major McKinley should interfere by taking Sherman into his cabinet, the fight for the seat in the Senate wiil no doubt settle down between Governor Bush- nell and Senator Sherman. The report that M. A. Hanna is a candidate for the honor and has the support of President-elect Mc- Kiniey lacks authoritative corroboration. If Mr. Hanna is given official recognition it will probably be with a place in_the cabiret. Though ex-Governor Charles Fos- ter says he has not given up the idea of standing us a candidate for the Senate, he is not leoked upon as in any sense a pos- sibility in that connection. Mr. Foster has lost not only his fortune, but also largely his potitical standing. The controversy in regard to his cuestionable conduct in the naticnal republican convention that nomi- nated Garfield for the presidency, which has been renewed by the publication of Senator Sherman's book, has placed him in @ bad light before his party. He is no longer a factor in state politics, and but for his connection with the state hospital for the insane at Toledo, of the board of trustees of which he is the president, he would be rarely seen here. Several years ago he defended trusts in a widely pub- lished interview, claiming that they had @s much right to exist as labor unions. It brought against him great opposition from the members of the labor unions, and he has just taken a somewhat similar posi- tion by advocating the employment of con- victs in the coal mines of the staie to dig coal for use in the state institutions. The Columbus Trades Assembly and the state miners’ organization have arrayed them- selves against the proposition with great vigor. It is safe to say that ex-Governor Foster will not be a candidate for the sen- atorship. But if he should be his candi- dacy will not cut an important figure in the contes No Cabinet Information, With all the predictions as to President- elect McKinley’s appointments for the cab- iret and other offices, no one has succeed- ed in getting a word from him that could be construed into an indication of his in- tention in any case. He is courteous to alt interviewers, but firm in his resistance to attempts to get from him information that he does not wish to impart. Having speculated to their hearts’ content on the appointments, the cabinet makers here seem to have wearied of the effort and con- cluded to let the President-elect settle it in his own good time and manner. The re- sult is that here at the capital of his state little is heard of cabinet talk now. Of courte, there will be thousands of Ohio men clamoring for places under the incom- ing administration, and Probably the state will receive her share of the official good things. Mr. Hanna, to whom most of the Place seekers apply, says that there are now 8,000 office seekers of record in this state, and predicts that by the day of in- auguration the number will have reached 12,000. It can be said to their credit, how- ever, that if they are reaily so numerous they are conducting their canvass for the places ‘they want with becoming reserve. This may be due to a desire not to arouse opposition rather than to a sense of mod- esty, however. Mr. Hayes as a Library Expert. Rutherford P. Hayes, son of .the late ex-President R. B. Hayes, who was one of the library experts called before the con- gressional committee on the new Library of Congress during the holiday recess, is @ resident here and has just inaugurated reforms in the management of the Ohio State Library that will make it many times more useful than it has hitherto been. Mr. Hayes is a lawyer, but, being quite wealthy in his own name and having mar- ried a wealthy lady of this city, practice is by no means necessary to his support. Gov. Bushnell has recently appointed him @ member of the library. commission, un- der a law drawn by Mr. Hayes, and it is this commission, in which he !s a ruling spirit, that has instituted the reforms re- ferred to. The state library is a large one, and con- tains not only a large number of volumes, but many rare and valuable ones. Untii now the use of the library has been limited ‘to state officers and members of the legis- A Young Colored Man Comes to Grief at a Parlor Social. John Tolliver, a young colored man, to whom Judge Miller referred as an unin- vited guest at a “parlor social,” figured in the Police Court this morning as an in- dividual who had been badly treated and then locked up. Policeman Lightfoot res- cued the prisoner from a rumber of indig- nant colored men during the first hour of the new year on Baltimore street northwest. Tolliver.told Judge Miller that he had at- tended watch night services at the Third Baptist Church and had then gone to the house of James Young, colored, No. 33 Hanover street. A party of friends were in the house about the piano, and Tolliver, who was a stranger to them, entered and introduced himself as “Billy.” Asked what he wanted, he replied: “ came to see Mary.” “What Mary?” “You know Mary,” he answered; “Mary- go-round.” Then the young man used language which made him objectionable to his host. Mr. Young lost his patience, and the unin- vited guest found himself on his head in the gutter. ‘When Mr. Young discovered that his face had been cut his sons and some of the guests went in pursuit, and when Police- man Lightfoot found them Tolliver was screaming “murder,” and the policeman told the judge he thought his presence there had saved Tolliver’s life. Fortunate- ly for Tolliver, he was near the Homeo- pathic Hospital, and Dr. Harrison put nearly forty stitches in three cuts across his forehead. A long cut in his trousers made it evident that some one had tried to disembowel him. There was no one who would say who had inflicted these ugly wounds, and Tolliver was locked up. “I suppose there were razors enough in the party to free Cuba,” Judge Miller re- marked. Friends of Young claimed that Tolliver’s wounds were sustained when he was thrown in the gutter, but Dr. Harrison said a sharp instrument, probably a razor, had inflicted them. In his own defense for the cutting of Mr. Young the painfully wounded man said he wert to the house because he heard “there was a good time there.” Although he said he had been at the church meeting, the doctor said he was Intoxicated. Tolliver was given sixty days in jail. ———_—_ False Pretenses Charged. Joseph W. Shaw, a young man well known in this cliy, was before Judge Miller im the Police Court this afternoon, charged with false pretenses. Hearing of the case was set for Monday, Shaw being released on bonds, his father-in-law, Mr. Thomas W. Smith, becoming surety in the sum of $300. Mr. Alfred B. Leet of the treasurer's Office, Southern railway, is the complainant against Shaw. The latter, it is said, sev- eral days ago requested Mr. Leet to cash for him a check for $70, drawn on the Na- tlonal Safe Deposit, Savings and Trust Company. The money was advanced, and later the check was returned to Mr. Leet marked worthless. Complaint was made, and Detectives Carter Placed Shaw under arrest. ——_>—__ ditional security for the safe return of the books. = A Reminiscence of Herrmann. The death of Prof. Herrmann, the pres- tidigitator, recalls an incident that occurred at the last meeting between him and Major McKinley. Major McKinley and the famous and performer had been friends for a long time, and Herrmann never came to Columbus without calling on the gov- ernor when he was here. When he’ was ‘last here happened to stop at the hotel where Gov. McKinley was mak- ing his home, and he called upon him there.
