Indications That a General Move Will Be Made Toward a New Alignment in the Various Trades. Steps will, it is understood, be taken at this evening's meeting of what has here- tofore been known as Plasterers’ Assem- bly, No. 1644, Knights of Labor, to sever its connection with District Assembly No. +5, Knights of Labor, of this city, and to become affiliated with the American Fed- eration of Labor. After the consumma- lion of the latter transaction the assembly yill be called Operative Plasterers’ Union, No. 170, International Plasterers’ Union. The drastic course determined upon by the assembly was made necessary because the assembly decided some time ago to apply for a charter from the International Plasterers’ Union (which has since been received), and the latter being affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, ferced the local assembly to form similar trade relations. The action of the Plasterers’ Assembly was also largely influenced by the fact that in the recent controversy between the Plasterers’ Assembly and the Operative Plasterers’ Union cf the Central Labor Union Columbla Typographical Union de- cided against the report of its own griev- ance committee In the matter by the nar- row margin of seven votes, and it is claimed the report would have been adopted by the union but for the fact that many of the members of the latter were bitterly opposed to anything that seemed to favor the Knights of Labor. The Final Report. A cony of this report will, it is understood, adopted at tonight's meeting of Plas- terers’ Assembly as an expression of opin- ion from them as to the points Involved in the leng pending controversy between the two rival plasterers’ organizations. The re- be port is as follows: “To the officers and membcrs of Typo- graphical Union, No. 101: “Your rievance committee. to whom was referred the matter of Plasterers’ As- sembly, No. 144, K. of L., against the e Plasterers’) Union, begs leave te report as follow “We have held several sessions, at which re also giving | we earnestly endeavored te give to both will be re-ysides of this controversy a fuli and im- partial hearing, and to get the facts as nearly as possible, and from them to form ME an unb i opinion as to whether or not tha the highest | this union grant the reauest of pr assures } Picsterers" y and refuse to recog- you nent to se- | nize the Operative Plasterers’ Union as a Je Market fae, legiamate labor union.

It is absolutely certain that the car- penters will leave the District Assembly. There are now four organizations of the carpenters in the District, and it is likely they will consolidate into one, as they ought to de. The tinners will also quit their central body in due course of time, and it {s probable that the last-named will be the last to leave. But when the assem- blies named are taken out of the District Assembly every organization of importance is gone. “The process of disintegration has been going on for more than a year, and there have been internal dissensions during that period, but these might have been healed but for the course of some of the general officers toward former officers of the Dis- trict Assembly. ——— AMUSEMENTS. Washington Orchestra and Associated Choirs.-The Washington Orchestra and Associated Choirs gave the first concert of a series at the Academy of Music last night. The house was not only well filled, but the large audience showed the utmost appreciation of the work of both chorus and orchestra, while all of the soloists were given a goodly share of the applause that was So generously bestowed upon the per- formers. The orchestra was under the leadership of Mr. Henry Donch, and in the opening number, the overture to “Sem: ramide,"’ showed that care and hard work had been liberally given to the training of the musictans. The chorus, under the di- rection of Prof. Maina, showed equally as good results, and the choral numbers were perhaps the most enjoyable of the evening. The soloists were all well known among Washington musicians, and each one was given a hearty welcome as he or she stepped upon the stage. Mr. Bernard Ryan sang “Ecce Sacerdos Magnus,” which gave him ample opportunity to show the quality of his voice, and he was followed by Miss Rosa Cayce, who gave Robaudi's “Star of Lov Miss Cayce sang the difficult num- ber in a manner that pleased every one who heard her, and at the conclusion of her solo was remembered with a handsome tribute of flowers. Mr. W. D. McFarland sang the Siciliana from the prelude to the opera “Cavalleria Rusticana,” in his usual precise way, and Miss Blanche Mattingly gave the romanza from the same opera. In “The Holy Night,” with choral accom- paniment, Miss Mattingly was also heard with good effect. Mrs. Nolan-Martin sang an “Ave Maria,” with violin obligato by Miss Lucas, and in response to an em- phatic encore gave “The Angel's Seren- ade,” also with violin obligato. Mr. James Nolan and Mr. John H. Nolan also con- tributed to the program. Miss Jennie Glen- nan acted as the accompanist of the even- ing, and filled her difficult post with ad- mirable ability. Fiske Jubilee Singers.—A large audience heard the Fiske Jubilee Singers at the Na- tional Theater last night, it being their second appearance in this city this season. ‘The program was well selected and gave full satisfaction to the audience, which showed its appreciation in unbounded ap- plause at every opportunity. The singers were Miss Mayme P. Calloway and Miss Laura A. Wells, soprano: Miss Lizzie Fraison, contralto; Mr. P. R. De Lany, first tenor; Mr. Charles W tenor; Mr. J. C. Fowler, first bass, and Mr. J. N. Caldwell, second bass. Among the gems of the evening were the Armorer’s song from “Robin Hood,” given by Mr. Caldwell; Arditti’s “Enchantress,” by Miss Calloway, and the maie quartet in “Annie Laurie.” ‘The Fiske Jubilee Singers have been before the public a long time, but it is doubtful if they have given anywhere a more enjoyable concert that was laid before the people of Washington last night. Thy concert will be repeated Wednesday even- ing next at the Universalist Church, 13th and L streets. Bijou Theater Concert.—The regular Sun- day night sacred concert was given at the Bijou Family Theater last night, the Ho- gen’s Alley Company figuring in the many features brought forward to interest and please the audience, which fairly crowded the house. A number of pleasing specialty turns were introduced with the songs, and the whole program was enjoyable. Annet- ta Reed did her regular turn, and was as pleasing as when seen through the week; Payne, second Minnie Bland and William Hagen were toth heard to advantage In a number of well-known songs, and the comedy duo, Manning and Ward. put up a neat sketch that was laughable in the extreme. The Misses Halvers and Leslie were rewarded with an encore in their clever specialty, while Mr. Clark and Miss Shirley were weil received. The Urline sisters sang “Don't Be Cross,” and the program was brought to a el the “Thr to be on th Gilmore rdener and the Leonard and latter proving ning. ir.

Mr. Gebes will be assisted by Mrs. Thomas ©. Noyes, soprano, and Mr. E. A. Lovy, violinist. A musicale was given at the Fredonia Saturday night that was enjoyable to a high degree on account of the reputation and ability of those who contributed to the program. A large audience was pres- ent ard the different numbers were appr ciated ard enjoyed to the utmost. Those who part were the St. Aloysius’ Quartet, F. Crosby, James N Arthur D. Mayo, Herman C.

Mr. Joseph I. Peyton, a well-known pat- ent attorney of this y, committed suicide shortly before noon yesterday at his home, A street southeast. Despondency as a result of failing heulth is the only reason that can be given for his act, as he enjoyed a good practice and was not bothered by business or domestic troubles. For some time past Mr. Peyton had made his home with a brother and two sisters on Capitol Hill. Of late he had been a sufferer from asthma and dyspepsia, and for several days past he had stayed away from his office and had kept pretty close to his room. He was in a rather melancholy con- dition of mind, but had said nothing to lead any one to think t he was con templating suicide. Shortly after 11 o'clock yesterday ing others in the house a pistol, but thought it came street and paid no partic i About half an hour Peyton had océasion to pa room and her attention as attracted by the sound of heavy breathing. She entered her brother’s room, where a shocking sight met her Her brother was lying on the bed, which was saturated with blood. A gaping wound in his forehead and a re- volver lying by his side told the story. At first the family thought it was an ac ni, Jone} morn- heard the repert of from the her brother's but further investigation showed that the unfortunate man had deliberately sought death. On the bed lay a small hand-mirror, which he had evidently used in taking aim with the pistol. He was not dead when his sister found him, though he was uncon- scious and a physician who was summon- ed in haste saw at a glanee that nothing could he done to save his life. He lingered for about three hours without recovering consciousness. He left no note or other ns ge to his family. Mr. Peyton was forty-nine years of age nd unmarried. grandson of Mrs. Elizabeti Pes me of a fam- fiy t was prominent in the revolution- aty period. He was a patent attorney and had an office in Room 11, 613 Pennsylvania avenue. He was at on ime a member of the firm of Baldwin, Hopkins & Peyton, and subsequently retired from the firm and practiced alone. Of late he has attended to patent business of the firm of S. S.

The Brightwood Avenue Citizens’ Asso- elation held a largely attended meeting Friday evening in the hall of the Bright- wood Hotel. After the reading of the minutes and election of Mr. Richard M. Johnson as a member of the association, President W. V. Cox submitted his report as chairman of the executive committee. In the course of his report Mr. Cox touched at some length upon the efforts made by the members of the committee to secure improvements for this section of the District. He spoke of what the Com- missioners are trying to do in the vicinity of Brightwood, and stated that an appro- priation has been asked for ihe prepara- tion of plats of all subdivisions outside of the city limits in the District to secure a conformity of strects and avenues in con- nection with the new street extension sys- tem. The report of the committee on sanita- tion was presented by Mr. Robert S. Stone in the absence of the chairman. The re- port stated that since the last meeting the rights of way for the construction of the Piney Branch sewer have been secured from the owners of property from 14th street at Piney branch to Brightwood ave- sue. The deeds have been executed, and there is every reason to believe that the sewer will be constructed at an early date. This improvement will be of an inestimable venefit to the entire region through which the sewer is to pass. Mr. Bates, chairman of the committee on police, fire and lights, reported that the aew engine house will be finished by June 1, and that it is the desire of the chief of the fire department to equip it with a full complement of men. In rezard to addi- tional street lighting, he reported that the side streets, including Lith street -road, will shortly be provided for. Mr. C. C. Lancaster, who was present, sed the meeting at some length on the work of citizens’ associations, after ch ihe meeting adjourned. as EVADED THE OFFI Actor Mansfield Ran Away From a Process of Law. Mr Richard Mansfield, the actor, against whom suit was entered Saturday by Act- ress Ethel Douglass to secure $550 claimed to be due her for hack «vial succeeded in evading the court officers who attempted to serve the papers on him at the Lafayette Square Theater Saturday afternoon and evening. The processes were In the hands of Deputies W. A. Wilkerson and P. F. Cusick. Deputy Wilkerson endeavored to perform his duty in the afternoon, but by an arrangement with the management of the theater Mr. Mansfield was enabled to elude him. At the evening performance Deputy Cusick had the papers. When he went to the theater he was refused admit- tance to the stage or to Mr. Mansfield’s dressing room, Manager Albaugh refusing him permission to go back of the scenes uniil the performance was over. When the curtain fell Cusick went back, but Mans- field had slipped out through a side en- trance from th age to the auditcrium and mingled with the audience. The claim was made by Mr. Mansfield’s representa- tives that Miss Douglass had no just | claims upon him whatever, while her ai- on the other hand, declare that Mansfield owes her the money, but has per- sistently ignored her continued demands its payment.

THE NEW CORCOR GALLERY. It Will Be Opened With Exercises Washington's Birthday. Washington's birthday will be celebrated in many ways in Washington, but perhaps none of the evente of the day will be more enjoyable or interest a larger number of people than the formal opening of the new Corcoran Gallery of Art, which has been fixed for that anniversary. There will be exercises of a highly interesting and ap- propriate character, the program for which is now being prepared by a committee of the trustees. The work of removal of the art treasures from the old gallery to the new Is progressing with rapidity and safety. All the heayy marbles and casts have been already transferred, and the pictures are now being moved. “The greatest cifficulty will be, it is thought, in removing the large canvases, such as the “Death of Caesar. and other familiar works, but the experi- enced workmen having the matter in hand expect to be able to handle these pictures with satisfactory results. When the new gallery is opened there will be a number of new attractions for the public to make pleasant acquaintance with.
