INAUGURAL “LABOR Workmen Want Union Carpenters to the Stands, Build A Question ined as to the Work- men to Be Employed on Some of Senator Sherman’s Houses. The weekly meeting of the Building Trades Council, which was, held last even- ing, was well attended. President William Silver presided and Mr. J. M. Boyce was secretary. The committee appointed at the last meeting of the council to call on the in- augural committee on public parks and reservations to request that union labor be employed in the erection of stands to be used during the inaugural parade reported having seen Chairman H. A. Willard of the committee, who informed them that the committee could not require that the work be done by union labor exclusively, as the funds for the purpose are derived from pub- ie subscription, and that under these con- ditions no class of labor could be discrim- mated against. He requested, it was said, the committee to suggest some means by which union labor could be employed with- out requiring the contractors to discriminate against non-union labor. The report of the vommittee was considered by the council, and the contract committee, through the reretary, was instructed to communicate with the committee and request that in the construction of the stands the con- tractors be required to recognize the eight- hour day and pay the current union wages @ the mechanics employed by them. Referring to the understanding among the trades generally that the National Con- struction Company intends to erect a num- ber of apartment houses at 15th and U streets northwest, the contract committee Was requested to look into the matter and secure the work for union labor, if such a thing be possible. Saw Senator Sherman. Chairman Lannis of the committee ap- pointed at the meeting of the Central Labor Union Monday to see Senator Sherman re- garding the erection of some houses by him in the northeast section of the city made a statement to the Building Trades Council in reference to the matter, that body being also interested in the proposed improve- ment. Mr. Lannis stated that he and his colleagues of the committee called Tuesday to see Senator Sherman, and the latter stated that he supposed the architect was favorable to union labor: that the contract for the buildings had been let, and he sug- gested that the committee should see Mr. Frank Schneider, the architect in charge, and ascertain from him what could be done te comply with the desires of the Central Labor Union and the council in the case. The matter was referred to the contract committee, which will submit the whole qvestion to Mr. Schneider and the builder, and request their co-operation in giving the work to union men. Further Organization. A committee, composed of one from each organization affiliated with the Building Trades Council, was appointed te co-op- erate with the committee appointed by the Central Labor Union to organize the un- organized craftsmen of the city. The council committee was constituted as fol- low Amalgamated Carpenters’ Associa- tion, Andrew Murray; Bricklayers’ Union, J. M. Boyce; Brotherhood of Painters, A. M. Murray; Granite Cutters’ Union, Wil- liam Silver; Operative Plasterers, F. W. Goulden; Stone Masons’ Union, Daniel Sullivan; Galvanized Iron and Cornice Workers, E. A. Fox; Steam Fitters’ Asso- ciation, M. Caton; Electrical Workers, G. A. Malone; Steam Fitters’ Helpers, R. H. Steele; Hod Carriers’ Union, Samuel Pres- ton. A committee of three was appointed to secure, it possible, for union men the work of decorating the inaugural ball room. It was decided that the committee would call today on the proper parties In reference to the matter. The painters reported that several of the members of Painters’ Union, N , were working on the Consumers’ Brewery, as the council had requested of the directors of the brewery company. It was further Stated that the conditions now prevailing at the brewery are entirely satisfactory to = members of the Building Trades Coun- cil. President James F. McHugh was _ re- elected for his fifth term at last evening's meeting of the Jocal Federation of Labor. The other officers chosen for the ensuing rm were: John F. P. McGee and Royal roll, vice presidents; C. A. Maidens, S. A. Clemens, financial secre- treasurer, and George Glasgow, ser- at-arms. ————_—__ Faneral of Erastus C. Weaver. Erastus C. Weaver, who died Monday at home, Sth street northwest, in tis city, took place this morning from Hamline M. E. Church. Theugh he had been an in- valii for a long tin.e, Mr. Weaver's death came sud tenly and caused a great shock to his family and many friends. He retired about 10 o'clock Sunday night and was com- pelled to leave his bed about midnight. At that time he was affected with acute pain in the region of his heart, but feeling no uneasiness concerning his condition de- layed awhile cailing the members of his family. However, it was not long before he realized the seriousness of his suffering and summoned to his side his wife and children. A physician was sent for imme- diately, but before his arrival Mr. Weaver was dead. He was a man widely known and held in high esteem in this city, where he spent the last thirty-two years of his hfe. He was born in the town of Laurens, Otsezo county, New York, on the 28th day of June, 182%, and resided in the empire state until July 14, 1862, when he marched to the front as first sergeant of Company K, 12ist New York Volunteer Infantry. rved with great gallantry, partic! pating in twenty-five battles, and winning finally the rank of captain. At the close of the war he was appointed to a position of trust in the office of the paymaster gen- eral of the army, which he held for a time, later beginning the practice of his pro- fession, the law. This was in 1874, and from that time until 1SsS, when his health began to fail, he was well known in the District of Columbia as an attorney, justice of the peace and commissioner of deeds. During a part of this time he served as a member of the board of assessors of the District, and was honored with other duties in connection with the local government. At the funeral s-rvices this morning the sermon was preached by the Rev. S. M. Hartsock, pastor of Ryland M. E. Church. The ceremony was under tne auspices of Rit Carson Post, No. 2, G. A. R., in which the deceased held membership. The asso- ciation of the survivors of the 6th Army Corps, of which he was also a member, participated. —.__ Demanded Money. Several citizens probably escaped serious injury last evening at the hands of a quartet of tramp desperadoes, had it not been for the timely appearance of Detective Thomas P. Hartigan. Four knights of the road, of a particularly vicious character, stationed themselves in the vicinity of 1st street and Pennsylvania avenue and stopped nearly every pedestrian who chanced to pass that way. They demanded money and accompanied their demands with threats of bodily harm, acting pre- cisely as would a highwayman actively en- gaged in a “hoid-up.”” Ccmplaint was made to Detective Harti- gan, who arrested the tramps two at a time. They made determined resistance, declaring that they were American citizens, and that the officer had no right to take them into custody. The detective finally landed all the men at the station, and in the Police Court today they pleaded guil- rs 5 ‘Sixty days each,” remarked Judge Kim- ball, after hearing the statements of De- tective Hartigan. er Assault Case.

Although it fs yet eerly in the season the local fishermen are making their prepara- tions for going down the river and getting thelr spring fishing traps in readiness by the time the ehad and herring appear in the river from the southern waters. Shad have already appeared in the waters as far north as Savannah, and local fishermen have every reason to believe that they are as far north ss the Carolinas. The con- dition of the weather during the next few days will have considerable bearing on the ehad and herring, and should there be no setback it is thought likely that some of them will be caught i the nets next: month. Because of the mild weather this wirter the fishermen fear they will have @ bad season in the spring. What is want- ed ncw is a cold spell with a thick coating of ice on the river. h have hardly gone in their winter quarters yet, said one of the fishermen to a Star re- Porter. In the winter, he said, they go in the deep holes and remain until the ice clears out of the river in the spring or until there is good weather. When the ice breaks and the water gets warmer the fish come to the surface, and make their way over the bars in shallow water and then it is that the fishermen make the big hauls. But when there is a late winter or an unusvally early spring, the fishermen say that the fish break and do not go in scheols. When they are scattered about in this way the catches often do not pay for the trouble and those who operate the nets are not paid for their outlay. Winter seine haulers and gillers have had a profit- able season thus far this winter, and some extra fine white perch are now coming up the river. White perch always bring good prices, and they are never a glut on the market. In the vicinity of Quantico most of them are being caught at this season and a few large black bass are also being taken from the river. These fish also bring gcod prices. The fishing shore known as _ the “Clumps,” about fifty miles down the river, ig the chief winter shore of the Potomac. This is now being fished by Capt. Gibson, who will soon leave there to fish the Free- stone shore for shad and herring during the first run of these fish. Freestone will also be fished this season by Capt. Bal- linger of Alexandria. R. A. Golden will fish at the Windmill shore this season. Several fortunes have been made at this shore, and Capt. James Ewing of Havre de Grace, who is to have charge of the work down there this sea- son. is already on the ground getting his boats and nets in readiness. Regecdy Point, another famous fishing shore, is the first shore this side of the Chesapeake bay, and is a place noted for the large catches of herring that are made there early in the season. Capt. Jake Faunce is getting ready to begin the sea- son’s work there. Capt. Bill Neitzey, who is known from one end of the river to the other, and who operates such big seines, will fish Stoney Point and Fairy Landing this season. A number of other shores will also be fished on a smaller scale. .By the latter part of next week many fisher- men from here will he down the river in order that there may be no delay in getting their nets in the water as soon as the shad and herring arrive, for the early catches bring the best price: —————E College Monetary Conference. Woed’s Commercial College monetary conference held a meeting last evening, the debate being on the proposition that the railroads of the United States should be controlled by the government. Mr. D. D. Thompson and Mr. Conkling upheld the af- firmative, and Mr. J. D, Hall, T. C. Taylor and Prof. Wood the negative. After the debate an orchestra, consisting of T. C. Taylor, Miss Malissa B. Farrell, Miss Mary E. Taylor, Miss Norma Lewis, Master Roy Wilcox, Mr. Joseph P. Rudy, Edw. Becker and William W. Biggs, and led by D. D. Thompson, furnished excellent. music, while Miss Calver, Miss Ruth Washburn and Mr. Fellheimer contributed numbers to the program. The subject for next Tuesday's debate is “Intemperance is More Destructive to Mankind Than War.” = Moody Choir Rehearsal. The first rehearsal of the season was held by the Moody Choir last night at the First Baptist Church, 16th and O streets north- West, fully three hundred members of the organization being present. Active work was begun immediately upon the assem- bling of the different parts, with Mr. Percy Foster directing both the work of the chorus and the string orchestra which ac- companied it. Arrangements are being made for a concert to be given in the spring, which is expected to be an unusu- ally fine "musical affair. It is expected that over five hundred voices will be trained to high perfection in preparation for this con- cert, and it will be made the most ambi- tious effort that the ehorus has yet under- taken. The choir will meet once a month. ee . Golden Cross.

Speaking on this ‘subject. today Mr. Jas. E. Fitch, chairman of the finance subcom- mittee of the central relief committee, said to a Star reporter: “The responses to the appeal for aid made through the press have greatly d's- appointed the relief committee. This ap- peal appeared at Christmas time, and it was hoped that it would open the hearts and purses of the people generally through the influence of the charitable and gen- erous suggestions of that season. But the total amount realized has been but a lit- tle over $500 in money, and the contribu- tions in clothing ang provisions have been correspondingly small. So great is the demand for relief in proportion to the means at our disposal that before the lose of this week the money and the provisions will be entirely exhausted. “It is to be remembered that this plan of securing means by general contributions through the influence of an appeal was adopted to save the people of the Dis- trict the annoyence of a house to house visitation, as well as to avoid the tempta- tion to wholesale begging, occasioned by the reports of large collections of money and the sight of wagons making syste- matic collections of clothing and pro- visions. The house to house solicitation of funds is our last resort, and it is to be hoped that we will not be forced to adopt it, because it invclves a great amount of labor and care and is a serious emarrass- ment to the people. “The idea evidently prevails that because the sun has been shining brightly nearly every day this winter there can, therefore, be no suffering among the poor. This is erroneous and unfortunate. I hope that no one will continue to wait for the snow- storm or the blizzard before contributing his proper share to this splendid fund from which the needs of the worthy poor may be met. The committee has made such arrangements as to prevent -entirely duplication and. indiscriminate almsgiving, and the citizens may feel assured that their gifts will be dispensed with all pru- dence. —— The Santa Claws Club Funds. The Evening Star Newspaper Co. turned over to Mr.’ Wm. B. Powell, superintendent of the public schools, the sum of $296.93, which represents the amount of subscriptions to The Evening Star Santa Claus Chib this winter. The money was raised in eonnection with the pound party which was held in the public schools just before the Christmas holidays. It will be distributed through the agency of the supervising principals of the differ- ent divisions, and will be used for the re- lief of the poor, the special object being the purchase of good substantial shoes for des- titute school children. ee BDestitute Womem and Children, At the meeting of ‘the National Associa- tion for the Relief of Destitute Colored Women and Children neld yesterday the Teports showed that at the home on &th street there are upward of 100 inmates, and that during the past year seven boys and three girls have been indentured, two boys and two girls have been adopted, and four girls have been returned to ‘their homes, circumstances having enabled their parents to care for them properly.
