The meteorological summary for the month of December, from observations taken at Brace’s drug store, corner of 30th and M streets, by Prof. M. F. Burrows, shows the following: The mean tempera- ture was 33.7 degrees, the maximum being 68 degrees, occurring on. the 7th, while the minimum occurred on the 24th and 28th, being just 12 degrees. The’ monthly range of the temperature was 56 degrees. The total monthly rainfall, including melted snow, was only .39 of an inch, extremely small and unusual, while the average daily rainfall was a fraction over one-one hun- dreth of an inch. There were only four days upon which one-one hundredth or more of an inch of rain fell. The totat snowfall for the month was 2.1 inches. There were twelve clear days, thirteen fair ones and six cloudy days during the month, “gue.” ‘A Milk Mr. John B. Lennon, treasurer of the American Federation of Labor, has issued an appeal to the memers of the order, in the course of which he says: “The year 1896 brought much suffering and want to the workers of our country. The avenues of our industrial life have been paralyzed and stagnant as never before in the his- tory of the United States. The price paid for labor and the price paid for the pro- ducts of labor have, to some extent, teen reduced. “While this statement is generally” true, the trade unionists of our great republic have grounds for self-congratualation in the well-known fact that the reductions suffer- ed by the union man or woman have been infinitesimal when compared with the Sweeping and general reductions imposed Steamer Maczlester for Mount Vernon and Marshall Hall at 10 a.m. Steamer Newport News for Norfolk and Fortress Monroe at 7 p.m. Steamer Wakefield for Colonial Beach and river landings at 7 a.m. E < = > — IF YOU WANT FINE MEAT —meat that means 16 ounces of satisfaction to every pound—try Keane’s Home-Dressed Meats.

Jobn Curran Died in This City Satar- day Night. John Curran, who was one of the most noted criminals in this section of the coun- try and particularly in this city, died at the home of his former friend, “Billy” Wil- liams, *in South Washington Saturday night, and was buried in Mount Olivet cemetery yesterday. He was about forty years old and had served a number of years in the penitentiary. When Curran was at large and a crime of any conse- quence was committed he was usually among the first to be arrested on suspicion. As a member of the so-called “canal gang, he assisted in the robbery of the pay- master of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, and “Lum” Fearson, who was recently con- victed of killing a young man in George- town, turned state’s evidence against him. Then he was alleged to have been connect- ed with the killing of the late Policeman Arnold in Alexandria, for which his friend “Billy” Williams served five years in the Richmond penitentiary. When Curran re- turned from his last term of imprisonment he figured in the robbery of John H. Per- zcnoski, and with him a man named “Jim” Tuttle figured. This last victim was in- duced to take a ride with the thieves, and when near the Long bridge they robbed — National Fencibles. annual meeting of the National Fenc’ at their quarters, 913 E street, last was largely attended.

Wardweil and J. G. Stelle The report of the secre- tary showed the company to be in excellent condition financially, while the member- ship has not decreased. A committee, con- sisting of Messrs. Butler, Kondrup, Ward- well and Stelle, were appointed to take charge of the annual full dress dance of the The Board of Managers Held a Meeting Yesterday. 5 The board of managers of the Associated Charities held e meeting yesterday, at which the chairmen, Mr. B.

Several re- ports were recelved, which showed that the work of the organization is progressing in a satisfactory manner.

As the day approaches for the annual or- atorical contest of the District Epworth Leagues, a great deal of interest is being manifested in the various churches as to which will have the successful candidate this year. At present Waugh Chapter holds the laurels, Mr. Harry O. Hine win- ning the contest last March. While the finai cncounter of the chosen representa- tives of the leagues will not take place for @ couple of months, interest is now center- ing in the different leagues, where prelimi- nary contests will be held during this month. At a meeting of the District Ora- torical Association at Foundry Church esterday afternoon, it was found that «re chapters than usual will probably er part, Douglas, Hamline, Metropolitan, rinity, Twelfth Street and Waugh being most likely represented. The officers of the asvociation this vear are: E. 8. La Fetra, precidene: Mark A. Watson, vice » president; rry O. Hine, secretary, and rles B. Reterts, treasurer. A Splendid Opportunity for timore, where members of the same gang robbed him of it, and he was compelled to walk home. Tuttle was sent to prison and Curran became q fugitive from justice. About a month ago Curran, almost dead with consumption, returned, and because he was so near death he was not arrested. =a NARROW ESCAPE, The report of the secretary of the board for the month of December showed that there had been 594 applications for relief, of which number 243 were from white fam- ilies and 351 from colored. The division of- fices were opened on the ist of December, and the work since that time has been car- ried on through these offices. Four hu dred and twenty-five separate investiga- tions were made by the agents, and rellef was secured from some source for 302 fam- ilies. Ninety-one families were relieved through the central relief committee, 06 from supplies of The Evening Star pound party, 67 through the golden book fund, 25 by private individuals directly, 14 by churches and 9 by other private societies. The report also dealt with the matter of co-operation between the Associated Chari- ties and the Emergency Hospital and Cen- tral Dispensary. A number of applications for medical assistance were investigated, and a few attempts at imposition were weeded out. The very fact that the investi- gations are made seems to have deterred people who are able to pay for medical at- tendance from applying as charity patients at the dispensary. —————— Well-Lighted Railroad Trains.

The seventieths annual meeting. of the Hydraulian” Steatn Fire Engine Company was held last night with a large and en- thusiastic attendance. President M. B. Harlow was in-the chair, and made an ad- dress at the opening of the meeting. A vote of thanks for his remembrance was extended Rev. Father Carne, former presi- dent of the company. Father Carne is in the city as the guest of his brother-in-law, Col. T. H. Ficklin, and had hoped to attend the meeting, but was prevented from doing 80 on account of suffering with carbun- cles on his neck, which made it necessary for him to-remain in the house. Many members of the company paid their re- spects to Father Carne today. After rou- tine business had been transacted the fol- lowing officers were elected: President, M. B.

Mr. Leo Simmons, after the minutes of the previous meeting had been read, re- ferred to the fact that the overhead wires and poles of the Brightwood Railroad Com- pany still remain on Kenyon street between 7th and 14th, and upon his motion a com- mittee of three was appointed to Investi- gate and report at the next meeting by what authority the company maintains its poles and wires there, and if there is any way by which their removal can be effect- Messrs.

President Ballinger stated that the com mittee will meet at his office 4:15 Frit afternoon, when members of the associ tion should acquaint the committee of all points where gas lamps are needed. Mr. Ballinger said he had learned that the United States Electric Lighting Company could now obtain a permit for the exten- sion of its conduits out 14th street into the section, and he promised that the executive committee would take steps at once to Secure such extension. Mr. McCalmont called attention to the absence of a sidewalk on the east side of l4th street, between Kenyon and Whitney avenue, making the point very dangerous for pedestrians. Mr. McCalmont's etate- ment was corrobcrated by other mem- bers, and Messrs. Gibbs, McCalmont and Jameson were appointed a committee to secure the necessary sidewalk.
