Lisner, TROUBLE AMONG UNIONS. ‘Two Asse fies Withdraw From Fed- eration as a Result of Differences. The withdrawal last evening of the Ec- centric Association of Engineers from the local Federation of Labor is to a certain extent the culmination of a long series of troubles among members of the latter cen- tral bedy, Bat it ts said the end of the difi- culties is not yet in sight. The trouble dates back to Labor day of last year, at which time the Eccentric As- sociation gave an excursion for the pur- pose of raising funds for the erection of a monument in memory of E. J. Rea, one of their members, who died a short time be- fore. Some interest was also taken in the matter by District Assembly No. 66, K. of L., and the local Federation of Labor, with both of which Mr. Rea was connected, and each appointed a committee to co-operate with the committee of Eccentric Engineers which had been selected by that organiza- tion to attend to the affair. The Eccentric Engineers claimed, how- ever, that as they had originated the move- ment for the monument, they were the re- sponsible parties for the expenditure of the funds, and, it is said, demandeé the right to Manage the details, and the contract was awarded to a friend of the master work- man, Mr. Lawson. Notwithstanding the successful contractor was the lowest bid- der, as then stated, the incident caused the relations between the committees on the part of the District Assembly and Feder- ation and that of the Eccentric Engineers to become strained, and eventually the separation of the engineers from the cen- tral body. Still another cause of trouble in the K. of L, ranks ts the allegation that Mr. Lawson of the engineers, who is also master work- man of the District Assembly, exceeded his authority when, a couple of weeks ago, he suspended from active membership Excel- sior Assembly, No. 2672, and Iconoclast As- sembly, No. 1303. The latter is composed mainly of attaches of the headquarters of the general executive board of the Knights of Labor, and was active in opposing some of the plans of the master workman. This, it is claimed, is the reason for the suspen- sicn of that assembly. The cause which brought about the suspension of the other kody has not yet come to the surface. Growing out of these proceedings, mem- bers of Iconoclast Assembly preferred charges of illegal conduct against Master Workman Lawson, but the judge of the court in the District Assembly nolle pross- ed the case. Steps are about to be taken, it is sald, to bring the matter before the general execu- tive board of the Knights of Labor, and it is asserted that if District Assembly 66 sustains the action of its master work- man in regard to Iconcclast Assembly, the entire District Assembly will be suspended. Meanwhile General Secretary-Treasurer Hayes added to the excitement by suspend- ing five of the local unions connected with the District Assembly for non-payment of dues to the general executive board. Yes- terday, however, the assemblies in default were restored to good standing by the pay- ment of the amount demanded by the gen- eral secretary-treasurer. ‘The two assemblies suspended by Master Workman Lawsort sustain the peculiar re- lations of being in bad standing with the District Assembly and in geod standing with the general executive board. —_. FINED FOR COASTING. Irving Davis Assensed $5 for Fast Bicycle Riding. Irving Davis, a white youth, was the only deferdant today in the Police Court charged with violating the police regula- tion relating to th2 speed of bicycles. “This young man coasted down Capitol Hill yesterday,” stated Policeman Estes, “and crossed Ist street at the rate of seven- teen railes an hour. I had to ride two blocks in order to overtake him.” {Are you guilty or not guilty?” asked the lerk. “Guilty,” admitted Davis. “Want to say anything?” the court in- quired. “No, sir.” “Five dollars fine.” That amcunt was paid. ——__ The Contagious Hospital. The Commissioners have written Senator McMillan that they do not deem it advis- able to locate one of the contagious dis- eases hospitals on the grounds of the Washington Asylum, because of the re- moteness cf the grounds and insalubrity of climate. They say they have every reason to believe that at least two of the estab- lished hospitals in the city will be willing to erect contagious diseases hospitals on their grounds. iS ae Leaves of Absence. It was ordered by the Commissioners to- day that on and after the 6th of July the usual ten days’ leave of absence will be granted to all firemen who have served one year, aad five days to these who have serv- ed over six months. Se Appointed Engineer. James A. Milstead has been appointed en- Bineer at the District disinfecting station. ——- Preferred to Pay a Fine. Mr. Francis H. Lingebach of No. 709 llth street northeast was in the Police Ccurt today as defendant, the charge be- ing the keeping of a dangerous dog. It was claimed that Mr. Lingebach’s dog, a water spaniel, bit and painfully injured the arm of a little boy named Jimmy Byrne, whose home is at 1221 I street northeast. “Are you willing that the dog shall be turned over to the poundimaster to be kilied?”" asked the court of Mr. Lingebach. “No, sir,” was the answer, in emphatic tenes. “Well, then,” added Judge Kimball, “you will have to pay a fine of $10.” ‘The fine was paid and the dog stiil lives. —— ee Watermelon Feast. The officials and newspaper reporters on duty at the Police Court enjoyed a water- melon feast this afternoon, through the courtesy of Policeman T. M. Sullivan, who provided a huge melon, ice cold, and of first-class flavor. SS Reducing Time of Sea Duty. There is a disposition among naval au- thorities to reduce the tour of sea duty of ravi officers from three to two years. The desire for the change is due to the fact of so many new vessels going into com- mission in the near future. By October 120 officers will be required for twelve vessels. Six of these are gunboats and four torpe- do boats. In adddition to these the Cin- cinnati will be placed in commission, and the Baltimore will relieve the Philadelphia from duty on the Pacific station. —-e-______ Tobacco Duties Reimponsed. American tobacco dealers lost a fine op- portunity to make heavy sales of tobacco in Nicaragua after the abolition of the to- bacco duties there last October. United States Consul Wiesike at Managua reports to the State Department now that owing to financial necessity the government has reimposed the duties, and meantime the Jamaicar and Mexican dealers have filled the markets with their tobacco.

The plaintiff states that she Slighted from @ nor.h-bound car at the point mentioned, on the side of the car™next to the other track, and that wiiile fle north-bound car was moving off 4 car, passed H_ street bound south at an;unlawful rate of speed, twelve miles an hour.. She compalins that the absence of a rail or guard allowed her to alight from thé north-bound car on the track side, and she also complains that the conducter refused to stop when she, seeing the rapid approach of the south-bound car, asked him to do so that she might pass around or get cn the car again before the south-bound car caught her between the two. As a result, she says, one or the other car struck her and knocked her down, se- verely injuring her. es POLICE APPOINTMENTS. Commissioner Makes a Change in the Method of Selection. Commissioner Wight has changed the method of police appointments. Heretofore the applicant who had passed the highest examination before the civil service board has been given preference. Commissioner Wight believes that this is unfair to those who have not been so fortunate, but never- theless have reached the required percent- age in the mental examination. There are several instances where good men have been kept waiting for months because they were outranked in the civil service exam- ination. This has all been changed now, and all that is required of an applicant is that he pass the prescribed examination and obtain a percentage of .70. When va- cancies occur the applications will be taken up and preference given to those whose Papers were filed earliest. Another inno- vation adopted by Commissioner Wight is that before an appointment is made the ap- plicant must appear before Major Moore for his inspection. SS MR. CARLISLE’S FUTURE. The Ex-Seerctary Will Locate in New York. Ex-Secretary Carlisle has informed his friends that he has finally determined to make his home in New York city. He is there now looking for a dwelling and law offices. His son, Mr. Logan Carlisle, will be associated with him in business, and he will have a friendly connection with the law firm of which ex-Assistant Secretary Curtis is a member. According to a close friend of ex-Secretary Carlisle, his re- moval to New York means that he has withdrawn from Kentucky politics, and that he will devote the remainder of his life to making morey. It is understood that he will sell his house on K street. + Sons of Jonadab Choose Oificers. Pioneer Council, No. 1, Sons of Jonadab, held its regular semi-annual election of officers Friday evening. There was a good attendance, and the officers were chosen as follow: Past worthy chief, J. W. Nichol; worthy chief, Frank J. McQuad worthy vice chief, K. Youngbloo worthy patriarch, J. M, Davy: worthy re- cording _ secretary, Douglass Kin, worthy financial sécretgry, E. J. Dowlin, worthy treasurer, /W, H. Norton; worthy guide, J. H. McNerfianey; worthy assistaat guide, John E.

Judge Cox has discharged the rule re- cently granted by him, upon the petition of Stilson Hutchins, ‘which temporarily en- Joined Chas. G. Conn and J. H. Ralston and F. L. Siddons;: trustees, from selling lot 13, square 289, under a deed of trust given by Mr. Hutchi1s'to secure a note of $16,496.66, given by, the vatier to M: The note is part of the consideration in the purchase of the Washingjon Times by Mr. Hutchins from Mr. Conn. Mr. Hutch- ins claimed that certain misrepresentations were made in the sale of the Times, and during the pendency of the present sult sought an injunction to restrain the de- fendants from foreclosing. Justice Cox granted an appeal, which operates to stop all further proceedings in the Equity Court in the matter. Where Bicyclists Might “Scorch.” To the Editor of The Evening Star: Bicyclists would have ‘ess excuse for “scorching” on the streets if they had a road or reservation for fast riding with- in the city limits. The White Lot and monument grounds are not much used by pedestrians, and it seems that no arm would be done if bicyclists were allowed to use those grounds for fast riding, provided a@ policeman were present to p. ent racing if the crowd should be too great. The bicy- cle fad, if such it may be called, has grown to such an extent that horses and carriages skould not be allowed exclusive privileges on the road; but the rights of pedestrians are always paramount. It remains to be seen whether the regula- tions against scorching can be enforced new that the police squad has been put in uniform. It was the ever present fear of the unknown policeman which kept the scorchers in check to some extent at least. Now all they have to do is to look out for the uniform and “be good” when it is in sight. The small force of policemen on wheels cannot cover our 300 miles of streets, and the scorchers can easily keep out of their way. When the cop turns the corner in his nice blue sult, en comes the time when the scorcher will scoot! THOMAS W. GILMER. —>—__. The Logan Monument Celebration. Preparations are being made at the War Department for the federal military dis- play on the occasion of the dedication of the monument to Gen. Logan at Chicago, July 22. Secretary Alger has already ar- ranged for the participation of six troops of cavalry from Jefferson Barracks, Mo., one regiment of infantry from Columbus barracks, Ohio, and the military band of that post and two troops of cavalry and one light battery of artillery from Fort Sheridan, Il. o—____ Improvements on Ellis Island. Commissioner General Stump of the im- migration bureau has recommended that the work of reclaiming Ellis Island, New York, be continued until about three acres more are added, making the total area about seventeen acres. He further recom- mends the construction of a main building for the use of immigrants, a hospital, with quarters for the hgspital corps, and a res- taurant and kitch¢ hese buildings, he says, should be of 1 and brick construc- tion, fireproof, and, with all m-dern im- provements. ‘provements, he esti- Mates, would cost ‘pbout $800,000. Cherokee Freedmen’s Fu: Considerable disturbance is attending the distribution of the Cherokee freedmen’s fund at Fort Gibson, Indian territory, on account of the attempt of United States marshals to attach“monéy paid individuals. Information recelvéd by the Interior De- partment states it the negroes are redtening ko attack the marshals. Thé fregdmen claim in a number of cases that efforts to attach their money are fraudutent. , Officers Chosen. At a meeting of the Washington Build- ing Stone Company, held recently at the office of Mr. P. J. Ryan, the folowing offi- cers were elected for the ensuing year: Hayden Johrson, president; P. J..

Deet of Diminutitve Offenders in Police Court Dock. There was a sort of epidemic of youthful offenders today in the Police Court, and the proceedings incident to the trial of cach were rather interesting. ‘The first to face the stern eye of justice was Mat Varner, a little chap about six years old, who was apparently frightened to the degree of spasms when the clerk read a very appalling information, charg- ing the theft of a handful—very small hendful—of ginger snaps from a grocery establishment at 7th street near Rhode Isiand avenue. “I don’t want to send this little fellow to Jail,” seid Judge Kimball. Then, addressing the mother of the boy, @ woman of the plantation type, the court continued: “Madam, if you will promise to cerrect your child, and give him to under- stand that he must not steal, I'll release him on personal bends.” “I don’ think he'll want any mo’ ginger snaps when I gits froo wif him,” was the ominous reply of the mother, whereat Mat trembled with renewed vigor. As he pass- ed through the doorway, in the firm grasp of the maternal hand, he was shaking like an aspen leaf. Philip Brooks, anothec diminutive colored boy, was arrested by Policeman Fennerly for the systematic larceny of jars of railk from doorways of houses in Georgetown. He was armed with a measure, and after stealing the lacteal fluid, would peddle it from door to door. “This boy has served some time in the reform school,” voluntezred the policeman. “Oh, please don’t send me back there,” moaned Philip. “That is just what I am going to do,” re- Plied the court; “and you will renain there this time until you are twenty-one years of ane ‘The boy retired, weeping as though his heart would break. David Stevenson, tiny and colored, stole @ newspaper from a doorway, and went to jail _for fifteen daye in default of a fine of $5. ———— RICHARD SMITH BURIED, His Popularity Attested by the At- tendance at His Funeral. The funeral of the late Richard Smith, the lawyer, who during his long life in Washington had enjoyed the universal es- teem and affection of the best people of the District, took place yesterday from his late residence, No. 1727 H street north- west, at 4 o’clock p.m. The large attend- ance of representative people and tiie pro- fusion of exquisite floral tributes attested the popularity of the dead man. The services were conducted by Rev. Dr. Wood of St. John's Church. The interment at Congressional cemetery was attended cnly by the immediate relatives of the deceased. The honorary pallbearers, who were mem- bers of the Metropolitan Club, of which Mr. Smith was one of the founders ané always a leading epirit, and of the Bar Association, were Judge Andrew C. Brad- ley, Charles C. Glover, Marcellus Bailey, Judge Joseph K. McCammon, R. Ross Perry, William A. Boarman, William A. Gordon, Dr. William May, John A. Baker, ex-Representative John J. Hemphill and Dr. T. Morris Murray. —.__ Installation and Reception. Spectal Correspondence of The Evening Star. FALLS CHURCH, Va., June 26, 1897. Past Master John H. Fisher of Alexan- dria visited Kemper Lodge, A. F. and A. M., last evening at Odd Fellows’ Hall, and installed the officers elect for the ensuing year. After the ceremonies the newly in- stalled master of the lodge, Mr. M. E. Church, tendered Past Master Fisher a re- ception. The beautiful residence and grounds of Mr. Church were handsomely illuminated. During the evening a past master’s jewel was presented Mr. Fisher, in honor of his services rendered the lodge as master dur- ing the past year. The presentation ad- dress was made by Mr. E. Meekins, to which Mr. Fisher feelingly responded. A banquet followed the reception. Among the guests were: Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Gould of Worcester, Mass.; Mr. and Mrs. W. M.

Robert Luce in “Going Abroad.” It is not worth while to carry abroad a camera using plates; the film camcra 1s bulk enough, goodness knows, and many a time you wish it at the bottom of the sea, yet on the whole you will be glad of having taken it. The 4x5 size is the best; smaller sizes may give clear results, but the additional satisfaction in heving big- ger pictures repays the added trouble. Larger sizes are cumbersome and fatiguing. Films can be secured in any of the large cities of Europe; before starting you can get from the American manufacturers lists of foreign agencies. If the films are taken from here, Lave them delivered in tin canis- ters, to prctect them from the dampness of the sea voyage. It will be well to ex- pose two or three from each roll before starting, and develop them, to make sure that they are perfect. The man who has never used a hand camera does a very fool- ish thing if he starts off on a long jour- ney without any preliminary practice. It is all very well to advertise, “You push the button and we do the rest,” but push- ing the button Isn't all of it by any means. The combinations of speed of shutter and sizes of stcps require a clear understand- ing and some experience before the best results are attained. The art is not ditti- cult; it is an easy thing to use a hand camera after you know how; but even the simplest processes will confuse a novice. And it is a pity to carry a camera over all Europe, go to the bother of hunting for good subjects and come back to find that through ignorance of some apparently trivial thing, you have spoiled half your films. When intelligent people beginning to use a camera, in spite of the plainest directions, will point it toward the source of light, or press the button without re- moving the dust slide or cap, it seems clear that a little teaching by experience is es- sential. Freezing Processes for Excavation. From the Engineeting Magazine. In mining for gold in Siberia the ground is kept clear of snow, so as to permit the cold to penetrate as Ceeply as possible, after which the surface is thawed by fires until a shallow layer of earth can be re- moved. The freezing is then allowed to proceed, and the thawing oreration repeat- ed, and this is continued as long as the cold weather lasts. In this way, through the long Siberian winters, open excavations are made to the gold-bearing rocks, the depth attained being from twenty-five to seventy-five feet, according to the duration of the cold season. Artificial cold for purposes of excavation ‘was used first by Poetsch in 1! by his well-known process of the circulation of cold brine through a se-ies of buried pipes the most difficult quicksand may be made hard enough to be excavated like rock. In the article under consideration are given general illustrations and details of the ap- paratus used in sinking the shaft at the Courrieres mines, together with formulas enabling the safe thickness of frozen wall to be computed for round or square shafts of any given dimensions. Among the important applications of the freezing process ere aoted the sinking of the shafts for the cylinders of the hydrau- ec elevator for the canal lift at Les Fonti- nettes, and the construction of a tunnel at Stockholm. The latter work was executéd entirely by the introduction of cold air into the working chamber at the head of the tunnel, the cold preven: the infiltration of water until the beton ing was built, and the work of excavating and lining be- ing carried on at temperatures ranging @egrees and twenty-five de- between no grees F.
