Charles Robinson Relates How Dorsey Foultz Made a Mistake. Senitary Officer Frank has under con- on an application for a free railroad to Philadelphia, and, in connection ase, is told a story which has some bearing on the Dorsey Foultz murder Foultz, as is well known, is a fugi- tive from jus » having killed a for- med Charles Robinson. Now, s to the front Is named binson, and he is glad he 1s tz, he says, killed the Charles Robinson, but so far as he rned he is glad of it. ‘Fhis man » go to Philadelphia to get out of and his friends, whom he nks wants to kill him. ry to Sanitary Officer nson said Foultz intended to he had been a witness Gabriel Walker, who was sen- for the illegal selling of liquor. The derer thought the other Charles Rob- inson was the one who had been a witness, and killed him » the murder, he say. Foultz has learned of his mistake, and Rob- he is continually in fear of his inson s: anger. The fund for transportation of poor peo- ple is not very large, and the sanitary offi- cer's advice to the man was that if he wanted to get to the Quaker city in a hur- ry, he would have to find some means oth- er than transportation from the District. He may send him away later. Sa A QUIET CONCLUSION, The Street Sweepers’ Strike Ends by Most of Them Going to Work. The men employed by Street Sweeping Contractor Albert Daggett, who went on a strike Saturday night, because they were dissatisfied with the recent reduction in their wages that accompanied the reduction of their hours of work, by reagon of the operation of the eight-hour law, nearly all returned to work last night. New men were employed in the places of about fif- teen who declined to work at the contract- or’s wages. There was quite a crowd gath- ered at the conjractor’s headquarters, 12th and V streets northwest, last night, when Mr. £ tt had announced he would call the roll and take back all strikers who de- sired to work, but everything: was quiet, and the street sweepers went out on their reutes*at 10 o'clock as though nothing un- usual had occurred, ——— A Reunion at Glen Echo.

LABOR'S CENTRAL UNION The Regular Meeting of Delegates Held Last Evening. Action Adverse to Eight-Hour Police Bill—Protest to Supreme Court— Minerws’ Strike Indorsed. There was a large attendance of dele- gates at the meeting last evening of the Central Lahor Union, nineteen of the ef- filiated bodies being represented. President Milford Spohn presided, and J. J. Crowley officiated as secretary, with Jarvis B, Moul- den as his assistant. The secretary reported having submitted to the pulice authoritles the complaint of the Musicians’ Union that the street bands were filling engagements in violation of the terms of their permit, and read a reply from Major Moore, in which it was stated that “instructions had been given to take up the permit issued to the German mendi- cant musicians of whom you complain for the reasons set forth. I am in hearty sym- pathy,” added Major Moore, “with every- thing that may tend to encourage home in- dustry and employment. Fair and Unfair Firms. A communication was read from Presi- dent Gompers of the American Federation of Labor, announcing the fact that the Anchor Mill Company of Superior, Wis., upon which a national boycott had been imposed, had become unionized; also that the Imperial Mill Company at Duluth, Minn., has refused to pay union wages and employs unfair coopers, and as a result. a national boycott has been imposed upon the concern. The legislative committee submitted the bill now pending in Congress, which pro- vides that eight consecutive hours shall itute a legal day’s service in the police department of the District. Some weeks ago the Central Labor Union was request- ed to Indorse the measure. It is, however, regarded as objectionable, and the body, by an almost unanimous vote, refused to do so. The objectionable feature of the bill Was stated to be the “extraordinary emer- gency” clause, which, it is alleged, defeats the purpose of the bill. Union Carpenters Aggrieved. A delegate stated that the foreman of construction at the new power house of the Metropolitan Railroad Company has refused to employ union carpenters. ‘she matter was referred to the grievance com- mittee, and the secretary was directed to communicate with President Harries rela- tive to the matter. Delegate Weber of tht @akers and Con- fectioners’ Union requested that the mem- of organized labor purchas> exclu- ely the product of the Operative Cracker which bears the Dlne label Delegate Ward of the Brewery Union stated that the Consamers Company had signed the union and requested that a special commi appointed to submit the contract to the several firms which have not signed, und request them to do so. The eh Pp Delegates Weber and Fisher, who, with a member chosen by the brewery workers, will constituta the committee. A committee was appointed to present to the District Supreme Cour: a protest against the employment of convicts on im- provements at the District jail. The pro- test was read and adopted by a unanimous vote, and the committee was directed to present it to the court as soon as possible. Sympathy for the Miners. Workers” Expressive of the sentiment of the central body, the following statement was adopted without dissent: “We recognize in the pending strike of the mine workers an effort for improved conditions, and a protest against the con- tinuance of industrial slavery,which should not be legally tolerated in a republic which recognizes the right of the citizen to lib- erty, life and happiness. “The conditions which have prevailed in the mining localities left these workers no other alternative but a forcible effort to secure for their labor a compensation sufli- cient to enable them to live decently. “To them we pledge moral and financial support, with a hearty approval of the action they have taken, and express the hope that they may maintain the attitude they have assumed until their demands are granted, even though the final result should be the entire suspension of all busi- ness dependent upon their labor. “We dencunce the action of those in authority in the Knights of Labor, who, from headquarters, informed the’ mine owners of the intention of the miners, and thus enabled them to prepare to resist the demands of their workers by largely in- creasing the reserve supply of coal. “This action demonstrates the fact that this element, as now controlled, is a con- tngent which, from sinister motives, will betray labor, and afd its enemies either for the gratification of hate or for a more sub- stantial reward.” Officers Chosen. The following officers were elected for the ensuing term: Milford Spohn, presi- dent; J. E. Cannon, vice president; J. J. Crowley, secretary; J. B. Moulden, assist- ant secretary; J. D. McKay, treasurer; Jordan Beverly, sergeant-at-arms; J. M. Heisley, Richard Lanis, G. W. Owens, audt tors; William Silver, district organizer. Delegates from the Bakers’ and Confec- tioners’ Local Union, No. 118; Columbia Lodge of Machinists, No. Electric Workers’ Local Union, No. 26, and Local Branch, No. 10, Association of Steam and Hotwater Fitters, respectively, were admit- ted and obligated. Tonight the Washington Command- ery, K. T., take possession of the grounds at Marshall Hall. They have chartered the Macalester, and they, with their friends, will have as select an outing as one could find. They have given lots of these in years past, and the experience gained on these occasions has all been turned to good account for the trip at hand. They have a renown all their own as providers of a royal good time. They know how to ar- Tange one. This time, of course, there will be all the dancing one could wish for. It is cool at the Hall, too, just right for the ex- ercise. The music will be furnished by Pro- fessor Schreedet unequaled band. That assures the right sort. All the regular old amusements will be participated in, and a good number of innovations will be served on the guests as pleasant surprises. The Macalester leaves at 6:30 as usual. Tomorrow night the Naval Lodge, No. 4, F. A. A. M., will give their annual excur- sion to Marshall Hall. Every one who nas been down on one of these trips knows what a pleasant time is In store. A most excel- lent program has been planned—every de tail carefully considered to insure an even- ing’s enjoyment for all who join them. Be- ing a charter trip, the grounds, boat and everything connected with the excursion will be under the persenal control of the Masons. For genuine pleasure and a good time these trips cannot be duplicated. Dancing and all other amusements usually found at river resorts will be in full swing, and a better arranged or more carefully planned outing cannot be participated in, no matter how long one waits. The Mac- alester leaves at 6:30. Tomorrow will be another of those very pleasant Wednesdays at River View, and the usual Wednesday trips will be made. These trips are particularly popular with the young people, who go down and dance all day and evening. Tomorrow the moon will be full, and the ride on the Pentz will be a most delightful and beautiful one. For the entertainment of those who visit the View another fine exhibition of the cinematographe will be given in the pavil- ion tomorrow night. Those who saw the exhibition on Sunday night last say the in- strument used at River View is a very fine one, and that the photographs projected upon the screen were devoid of the filcker- ing and other defects noticeable In some of the cinematographe exhibitions that have taken place in Washington. The chute and other attractions will also be ready to af- ford pleasure. The Penéz will leave her wharf at 10 a.m., 2 and 6:45 p.m., and will return at 12:15, 5, 8 and 10:30 p.m. —_.-— Money to lend at 5 and 6 per cent on real estate. Frank T.

There was a case of pocketbook snatch- ing in the Capitol grounds about 4:30 o'clock yesterday aftefncon, and the bold- ness of the thief surprised the police. Miss Susan P. Trimbell, who lives at No. 302 New Jersey avenue, was the loser, ang an unknown colored youth was the thief. Miss Trimbell was hurrying through the grounds on her way home at the time named, and had her pocketbook, containing $10, some small change, a key and some cards, in her hand. She carried the pocket- book in so conspicuous a manner that the attention of the youth was attracted to it. He came along from behind her, and when he had sucveeded in relieving her of her pocketbook he ran across the grass and left the grounds. The lady called to three men whom she saw ahead of her to stop the boy, but all they did, she says, was to look at him and laugh. After searching the grounds for some minutes, Miss Trimbell managed to ‘ind a watchman and she related to him the story of her unpleasant experience. A few minutes later she called at police head- quarters and saw Detective Carter, who recejved her complaint. She gave the offi- cer a description of the boy, and the offl- cers are now endeavoring to find him. The police have also been asked to look cut for the thief who robbed the showcase in J. T. Burch’s cigar store, No. 3525 M street. A pocketbook containing $28 was taken from there about 5 o'clock Sunday. Benjamin F. Butler has also been robbed. He lives at No. 229 Virginia avenue south- west. His complaint is that his room was entered yesterday and a gold watch taken. Another victim of a thief was Rosa Win- ters, who lives in Madison alley. A silver watch was stolen from her house several Gays ago, she reports. 8. E. McCarthy, who lives at 3261 Pros- pect street, was relieved of his gold watch yesterday. The timeplece was stolen from a new building near Copnecticut and Wy- cming avenues. —_>__. SPIRITED COLLOQUY. Attorney Holland and Judge Kimball Cross Swords in Court. ‘There was a clash today in the Police Court that waxed warm and was spirited for several moments and caused an un- sual stir of interest among the specta- ters. Judge Kimball and Attorney Milton M. Holland were the parties who clashed; ard the legal sparring wes fast and furi- ous. - Jane Murray, colored, of No. 1438 Spring street, was on trial for unlawful assembly and loud and boisterous talking. During the hearing it was stated that the com- plaining witness, Julia Shorter of No. 1440 Spring street, was equally as guilty was the Murray woman. Judge Kimi thereupon directed that a similar informa tion be sworn oat against the Shorter wo- man, At that point Attorney Holland, who iad no cornection with the case, sprang to bis feet and addressed the court. He said, in the interest of right and justice, and for the pretection of the woman “I beg to submit, ycur Fonor,” stated the attorney, “that it is contrary to all precedent and authorities for a witnc who is in court to testify, to be place: under arrest in a court room.” “That rule applies to civil cases,” re- plied Judge Kimball, “not to criminal “With all respect to the court,” continu- ed Attorney Holland, “I must insist that the practice applies to criminal cases, and I can cite an instance when Judge Miller directed that a policeman must wait out- side the court in order to make such an arrest. If all the authorities are not to that effect then I have never read an au- thority.” “Then you have never read the author- ities," echoed the court, quietly. “The de- fendant can have a continuance in order to allow time to procure witnesses, but the protection you refer to applies only to civil cases.” “Then, said Attorney Holland, with spirit, request that the cese be postpon- ed until another judge is on the bench. With all respect to your honor, I must say that you already have an opinion that the defendant is guilty, since you ordered her arrest and remarked that you believed both women equdlly guilty.” “You heard Bailiff Kendig say that,” stated Judge Kimball. “I heard Kendig say nothing at all,” de- Attorney Holland. ‘Well, I will not postpone the case for the reason advanced,” Judge Kimball de- cided. “However, I will accept the per- sonal bonds of both women to appear for trial tornorrow; that will afford them un opportunity to summon witnesses.” This concluded the incident. ——___ AMUSEMENTS. ch COLUMBIA TH TER—The sentiments of the exceptionally large audience at the Columbia Theater last night were not un- mixed. The hilarity which “Innocent as a Lamb” so abundantly developed under the interpretation of the stock company was tinged with a regretful realization that this is announced as the last week of their season. Mr. James O. Barrows played the principal comedy part in the delightful manner which will cause him to be pleas- antly remembered. One of the best charac- teristics of Mr. Barrows’ work is that bis speeches are, as a rule, delivered without the hesitation which so often mars the per- formance of actors who are constantly studying new roles. It is useless for a playe> to attempt to conceal the fact that his lines are not readily forthcoming by unctuous iterations of what he has pre- viously spoken. This fault is one which has been most conspicuous in the younger actors who have appeared in stock organi- zations here. Men who are seasoned to hard study are seldom guilty of it, and wo- men, never. “Innocent as a Lamb,” like the more pronounced of the company’s previous successes, has the advantages of preliminary polfsh’ by presentation during the regular theatrical season. The cast was, without exception, meritorious. Mr. William Boag played the part of a very tough person with eminent success; and Mr. Henry Bergman added to his achieve- ments as a stage manager a distinct tri- umph in his’ impersonation of a German character role. Mr. William Ingersoll was adniirable as a dashing and resourceful young man of the period, and Mr. Bert. Thayer played the part of a servant in a way that brought out all its possibilities. Mrs. Kate Denin Wilson maintained the unvarying, unobtrusive excellence which has so endeared her to the patrons of the stock company, and Miss Alberta Gallatin was comely and attractive. The perform- ance gives assurance that the close of the stock company’s engagement will be 2s brilliant as any other portion of its career. ——_>—_—_. Welcomed the Rain. The farmers and truckers about the city welcomed yesterday's rain, which was sadly needed for the crops. The wind storm which preceded the rain caused some Iitle damage, but not enough to merit mention. In the city a number of trees were broken by the wind, while the water caused a number of depressions in places where Rewer work had been done or improvements made. The debris in the sewers had the effect of obstructing several of them. ‘The police Heutenants reported the results of the storm to headquarters this morn- ing. These reports showed that ten trees had been damaged and twelve dangerous holes made. Three obstructed sewers were also reported. ed Congress Has Jurisdiction. : The attorney for the District, in an opin- fon to the Commissioners, holds that the question of the gas company’s requiring consumers to make a deposit before turn- ing on the gas does not come within the jurisdiction of the District authorities. ‘The question was raised a short time ugo by a citizen, who, protesting against the practice, appealed to the Commissioners for the reasons why this was permitted, The attorney for the District was requested to write an opinion upon the subject, and he held, as above stated, that the Commis- sioners had nothing to do with the matter, and that Congress alone had jurisdiction. —_.>__.

Policeman H. G. ‘Housel discovered a body floating in the Potomac about 6:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon opposite the foot of 33d street, which was only a short distance from shore. A boat was im- mediately secured, and the corpse, which was found to be in an advanced stage of decomposition, was hauled to the shore and secured. Shortly afterward a num- ber of people viewed the remains and identified them as those of Richard Blair, a colored laborer, who lived at 1917 Tem- peragge alley. Blalr was employed as a coal trimmer on the coal deck of Agnew & Co., near the Aqueduct bridge, and was last seen alive the morning of Friday, July 9, at the docks. There were no marks of vio- lence on the body, and it is supposed the unfortunate man fell overboard and was drowned. On account of its condition the body was not brought to the Georgetown station, but the express wagon of Richard Marshall was called into use, and the re- mains taken to the morgue at the sixth precinct police station, on New Jersey ave- nue, and the coroner notified. Eastern Star Lawn Party. ‘The ladies of Adah Chapter, No. 6, Order of the Eastern Star, will give a lawn party Thursday evening, on the grounds at the northeast corner of 26th street and Penn- sylvania avenue. The general commit- tee in charge of the affair is composed of Mrs. C. Barton, chairman; Mrs. L.

The ice cream table will be in charge of Mrs. Barton and Mrs. McGee; the lemonade stand in charge of: Mrs. Bornhein and Mrs. Henderson; the peanut stand in charge of Misses Raeburn and Wetzel, and the cigars in charge of Miss Edmonston. Welcomed Their Pastor. The congregation of Ebenezer A. M. E. Church tendered a reception and welcome to their new pastor, Rev. J. J. Evans, last evening at the parsonage, No. 2722 O street, opposite the church. The address of welccme on the part of the parishion- ers was made by Mr. David B. Leé, while Mr. Clement Beckett made an address on the part of the official board of the cnurch. There was an abundance of refreshments, and many leading church people present, among the number being Rev. E. W. S. Peck and family, Rev. Wiliam H. Manokoo and Dr. Frank J. Webb. ‘The ladies of the Stewards’ Aid Society tendered a re- ception to all present, numbering over one hundred. Rev. Mr. Evans is one of the ablest ministers in the A. M. E. church, and the congregation is delighted over his appointment. Tke Parsonage ib of the church will give a lawn party Thursday and Friday evenings at the southeast ccrner of Valley and Q streets, the proceeds of which will go to the general church fund. Had NoéEvidence. Albert Stalling, perhaps better known as ‘Bull” Stalling, was arrested yesterday by Peliceman Harrison, on suspicion of st2al- ing a pocket book: containing $25 from Bush's store, near the entrance io the Aqueduct bridge. Stalling was seen with a gcod deal of money: in his possession, but he was able to give a good account of him- self, and, having no evidence, the police were unable to hold him. Briefs. Mary Dancey, colored, aged forty-two years, was taken sick this morning about 9:30 o'clock at‘the entrance to the Aque- duct bridge, and: was removed to Freed- men's Hospital in the patrol wagon. Mr. Fayette Darne, the liveryman, is lying seriously ill at his home, corner of 35th and R streets. William E. Lewis and Joseph B. Hurst, trustees, have sold to Stilson Hutchins, lets 8 and 9, block 8, of the subdivision cf Whitehaven, the consideration veing placed at $1,087.59. Mrs. Martha J. Berger, the wife of Alfred Berger, died Monday at Cherrydale, Va. Miss May E. Crowley of street, who graduated from the Western High School, this year, has gone to Newport, chaperoned by her aunt, Mrs. McCarthy of New York. She will remain away until September. IRISH INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE. Commissioners Asked to Favor a Permanent Depot in Dublin. The Commissioners have received a letter from the Irish Industrial League setting forth the purpose of the league to estub- lish a permanent depot in Dublin for Irish manufactured articles. The letter states that a large number of American visitors are expected in 1898 to visit the exposition. Continuing, the letter says: “Well knowing the sympathy with Ire- land of a majority of your citizens, we respectfully request your honors to assist us in the undertaking. Its object is pure- ly industrial, and for the material ad- vantage of struggling manufactures. Our league is non-sectarian, non-political, and embraces members of every shade of ‘opin- ion. We are already assured of financial and practical help from many prominent Dublin citizens, the Dublin trades council, the Belfast trades council and other or- ganizations, and we have the advantage of the active assistance and advice of Mr. Charles Dawson, ex-lord mayor, ex-M. P., and ruling spirit in the great Dublin ex- position of 1882. “If your honors will be pleased to afford to your citizens an opportunity of subscrib- ing to our guarantee fund we feel confi- dent that the result will assure the com- plete success of our exhibition.” —.—_—_ NOVEL POINT RAISED. Objections Made to the Location of a Z School House. A novel point has been raised by a citi- zen of Eckington against the location of a public school house at the corner of ist and Quincy streets. The objection to the loca- tion of the school is based upon section £93 of the Revised Statutes, which provides that it shall not be lawful to locate any site for a school house in an orchard or a garden, nor within 800 yards of any dwell- ing house, without the consent of the pro- prietor of such dwelling. The attorney for the District, however, in an opinion to the Commissioners, holds that this law is not applicable to the pres- ent case, in view of the wording of the ap- propriation act authorizing the Commis- sioners to erect a school building in the vicinity of North Capitol and R streets, and that the word “vicinity,” being one of general significance, the Congress evidently left the exact location to the discretion of the Commissioners.

Awkward Situation of a Young Man Returned From Abroad. A young man, who lives in Weshington, but who has been away for two or three years, returned home lately. He was con- nected with a foreign legation. In con- versation with a Star reporter today he stated that he noticed a great many changes in Washington which had taken place since he was here before. Some for better and some for worse. “I want to put-particular stress on ‘the better and worse’ part,” he said; “and thereby hangs a little tale. “Having nothing to do, one evening, 1 thought I would go and visit a young lady I met several years ago. I had forgotten where she lived, but I hunted up her name in the directory, not at all certain whether it was her family or another. At any rate I thovght I would try, so I took a car, rode out to a point near the number of the house and went to it and rang the door bell. A young girl came to the door. “Is Miss So and So in?’ I asked, giving the full name of the young lady. “I thought the girl hesitated, and seemed embarrassed. Then she said: ‘She doesn’t live here any more.” “She went into a room and a lady, whom I supposed to be the girl's mother, came out. “Did you want to see the young lady?’ she asked, repeating her name. told her I did. ‘She was married six months ago,’ said the lady, luughing, and after thanking her I turned to go. “I was greatly amused at the outcome of the affair, and the persens in the house must have been also. I heard them laugh- ing uproariously as I went down the steps. I have to laugh every time I think of it. I wonder what those people thought I was doing all the time. If I hadn't been laugh- ing so heartily, I would have stopped and explained that I had been absent, but 1 lost the opportunity, and I don’t like to go back there any mcre.” — ON TO SAN ANTONIO. Morton Cadets to Leave for the Texas City Tomorrow. The final practice drill of the Morton Cadets prior to their departure to partici- pate in the interstate event will be held at the intersection of New Jersey avenue and N street, from 5:30 o'clock to 7:30 o'clock this evening. The company will leave for San Antonio, Texas, to take part in the drill and encampment to be held in that city from July 17 to 25, at 11:15 o'clock to- morrow morning. The command will travel on a special Pullman sleeping car over the Southern railway. The train is scheduled to reach Auanta, Ga., Thursday morning at 5:10 o'clock; Montgomery, Ala., Thursday morn- ing at 10:50 o'clock; Mobile, Ala., Thurs- day afternoon at 4 o'clock; New Orleans, Thhrsday evening at 8:10 o’cloc! Houston, Texas, Friday morning at $ o'clock, and San Antonio, Friday afterncon at 4:45 o'clcck. First Lieut. J. Bruce Webb, quartermas- ter of the 2d Battalion, D. C. N. G., with a detail of the cadets, will leave for San Antonio at 10:43 o'clock tonight. The bag- gage of the company will be sent tonight, and when the boys march into camp Fri- day it is intended that everything shall be a ting them in shipshape. Lieutenant Webb will conduct the mess arrangements for the company while in camp. Better work was accomplished in the drill last evening than at any previous time dur- ing the period of practice. The Mortons are thoroughly alive to the responsibilities which rest upon them, and are doing all tn their power to make as good a showing as is possible. At San Antcnio the company will have several days for practice work before engaging in the champicnship com- petition. Captain Shilling was notified today by the drill management that the young lady who had been selected as sponsor for the company is very ill and will be unable to serve in that capacity. Another selection, however, will be made at once, and the Mortons are assured that they will find nothing lacking in the social line during their stay in the Alamo city. The quarters of the company at the Na- ticnal Guard Armory presented a decidedly busy appearance today.
