REMOVAL Representative McDonald Suggests That a Popular Vote Be Taken. Proposition Made for Two Offices, One at Brightwood, the Other at Brightwood Park. The post office war between Brightwood and its sister suburb, Brightwood Park, continues. Confidence of victory 1s un- bennded on both sides. The anti-movers have no thought of giving up the struggle. In fact, since their interview with Assist- ant Postmaster General Bristoe, they are more certain than ever that they will win. On the other hand, Postmaster Van Horn has shown his determination to hold the fort by providing the necessary equipment for carrying on the business at the new stand. The outfit includes forty lock boxes and perhaps one hundred and fifty boxes of the open variety, which number will be “an ample and plentiful sufficiency” should the Brightwooders abide by their declared intention of boycotting the office. According to the objectors, Takoma Park, Chillum and otaer near-by offices will note @ great increase in business should the change be made, as the patronage of all Brightwood 1s to be transferred to them. Many of the citizens also are declaring the of receiving their mail at their s in Washington. est move in the campaign of the ition is the measuring of the distance between the disputed points, and also the preparation of plats taken directly from the United States government maps, to show the disadvantages of removal. Papers for Signatures, It has been decided, upon suggestion of Representative McDonald, to circulate pa- pers for signatures, allowing every one to show his or her preference. “I give my approval to removal—retention” is to be put to each person in the two places, and, by a preponderance of paper, it is hoped to win back the coveted office, or, as Mr. Theodore Thomas, one of the retention ad- vocates puc it this morning: We are perfectly willing that Bright- wood Park shall have as many post offices as it wan one on e€ street corner if desirable. We hope to secure signatures enough to each side of our petition to se- cure the Brightwood post office for Bright- wood, and a Brightwood Park post office for Brightwood Park. In this movement we have the approval of Mr. McDonald, and by his help we shall be successful. If Mr. Van Horn makes no objection we will not have any trouble whatever.” _ To the above Mr. Van Horn says there is not enough business for two offices, and such a course would only ruin both. He is, of course, opposed to it. Representative McDonald is to have a conference with Postmaster General Gary relative to this proposition Monday morn- Mr. McDonald ialked it over with ‘tmaster Van Horn tod. The park citizens contemplate the hold- ing of a ma m ing Monday evening, but it is not known what stand they wiil take in the matter of two offices. It is pected that through fear of losing by later they will oppose the plan. Mass Meeting Proposed. The park citizens, especially those re- quested to withdraw from Thursday night's mass meeting, are lcoking forward with much plecsure to a general jollification upon the removal of the office. There will be fireworks, to witness which all will be invited, irr ive of residence, and a al promise is made that no one wiil be uested to go home and burn his own ing. e incu nt and the incoming offi both esteemed as good citi it is, therefore 1 by the rival facticns that pers ters do not ente into the controversy, it being simply « as to which section to be s on in both of the in- js that ther no likeli- tment revoking its action. hood of the ¢ Application for an order of removal on the first cf August is to be made soon, and it will then probably be decided. Response to Mr. Clayton. Mr. Cuvier Green, a resident of Brigit- wood, ta exception to Mr. McK, Clay- ton’s view, as printed in The Star of yes. lay. He said today: I do not think Mr. Clayton has will- fully misrepresented the condition of af- fairs In our little village, but for gross tg- norance his statements cannot b sur- sed, and I think the public should know Brightwood consists It has many more one can go and count them. To be they are widely separated, and I am quite sure that is just why Mr. Clayton saw only one dozen. “He states that in the past ten years ‘only four houses have been built, and one of these to replace one burned.’ I counted twenty-five new houses on my way to office this morning, and there are perhaps more h have been built within the past ten ars in Brightwood and the immediate vi- cinity, to say nothing of the car sheds, school house and engine house. All of hese houses are much closer to where our post office is now located than where Mr. Van Horn proposes to place it, and all of the occupants get their mail’ at Bright- wood. “He further states that the estab ment of the engine house was due solely to the existence of Brightwood Park, when the facts are that nelther Brightwood Park nor any of its residents had anything to do with it. Our engine house was wholly and solely through the persistent fight of our permanent organization, known as the ‘Brightwood Avenue elation,” and composed entirely wood ‘citizens.

THE NORTHWEST SUBURBS Action of Citizens’ Association in Matter of Street Extensions. Movement to Avoid Damage to Prop- erty—Fire Engine for Tenleytown to Be Asked For. At a recent meeting of the Citizens’ Northwest Suburban Association, the pres- ident, Charles C. Lancaster, appointed the following executive committee: Louis P. Shoemaker, chairman; John Sherman, Ma- jor George A. Armes, T. L.. Holbrook, David B. May and Horace Jones. The chairman of this committee made a report, which was adopted, and which was, in effect, as follows: “Since you have selected me as chairman of the executive committee of this associa- tion, I deem it to be my duty to state now: “First, I desire that any member who has a matter of business requiring attention should bring it before the association, and when the same has been properly referred to this committee I promise faithful atten- tion thereto, “Second, that part of our territory locat- ed north of the Military road and west of Rock creek is now, and has for a long time been, greatly isolated and considered re- mote by reason of inadequate facilities for reaching any part of the District north of Brightwood, and I not only believe that this section of our territory will be greatly benefited by, but that an actual necessity exists for a’street or roadway which will connect Takoma Park with the Daniels road. Location of Streets. “Third, I Believe the location of streets through our territory to be a matter of very great importance, in fact, the most important business now before this asso- ciation, These streets have not been, for- tunately for us, definitely located, and the map which has been Prepared in a ten- tative way, is, of course, subject to modi- fication. Therefore, I earnestly urge the attention of each property owner to this subject. I know there are hundreds who, 48 property owners in the first section, neglected this matter, and are now only too anxious to secure a change of the map; but it is now too late, and they are com- pelled to accept the serious disadvantages and hardships which have been perpetrated upon them. It is not as yet too laie for us, and we must profit by their experience by giving our tmmediate attention to this all important subject.” n the same report Mr. Shoemaker in- do these streets as now proposed strike your property? Are you benefited, are you damaged, or are you ruined? These are the important questions, and the last one is not too extreme, because I know of many who have been ruined by the map of the first section. : “Fortunately for us, this tem cannot prevail ‘to any great extent over our torritory; therefore, we have a chance to see that our houses are protect- ed, our desirable building sites retained end the beauty of our section perpetuated by a system of streets that will conform as nearly ag possible to the topography of the country, T would also suggest the im- portance, if not the necessity, of having a highway leading from some point on Connecticut avenue, through the lands rep- r trustee of the e: 1 At pr quired to go a much furth the city than ought to b and the Military road to reach the Broad h road.” erty a olution offe: which ctangular sys- Street Extension a by Mr. May was a provided that the chair- the executive committee, elther directly or through the seeretary of the association, communicate with each mem- ber and request him to visit the engineer A re adopted, man of partment in the District building, and whether or not his property is y the osed street extension and to omptly noti the cha mitt of the same; and, pt forth h ter and to si deviations as he views in regard to the 1 gest such aiterati may de Dr. C solution, which was adopted, directing that the executive committee take proper measures to secure to the enleytown a fire engine joners send to Congr their estimate for the year 1898-1800, Mr. John W.

In Bad Shape. “I am guilty,” stammered Kate Sellers when arraigned before Judge Mills today on a charge of vagrancy. Kate’s condition was something frightful, and it was all the result of too strong an appetite for strong drink. There was a time in Kate's life when she was the wife of a prosperous tailor and was happy. But his intemper- ate habits and brutal treatment drove her to drink. Whiskey killed her husband, and Kate has been drunk most of the time since his deat) which occurred several years ago, with the,exception of the time she has spent in prison. Now the unfor- ‘tunate woman, who is fast nearing her grave, has no home, but sleeps about in alleys and on vacant lots. When Police- man Corby found her last night she was in an alley, being pulled about over the stones by several boys. The officer told the court that the woman has no home, and Judge Mills gave her thirty days on the farm. 9 Overttre, .Fyles AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA Revival of the Demand for a Modern Street Sprinkler. New Police Commissioner Sworn in— Confederate Veterans to Celebrate First Manassas Battle. Evening Star Bureau, No. 529 King Street, Bell Telephone No. 106, ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 17, 1897. Every Saturday morning the merchants and others doing business om King street are forcibly, and it might be said finan- cially, aware of the great need of a street sprinkler. The street cleaning gang is put to work upon it on a day and at an hour when the thoroughfare is most used and the clouds of dust which arise are blown over the stock of the merchants and the clothes of the passers-by. ‘The new committee on streets has been organized, with Mr. B. B. Smith as chair- man, and It 1s to be hoped that one of his first acts will be to strongly recommend the purchase and use of a sprinkler and street sweeping machine of new and im- Proved design, to which the horses of the various fire companies could be exercised daily, instead of standing in their stalls eating their heads off and getting “soft.” Mr. J. M. Hill has offered the city a sprinkler at a small cost, and it is the hope of all that the new council will see fit to buy it. Frank Price Sworn In. Mr. Frank Price, the newly elected police commissioner from the second ward, has been sworn in by Mayor Simpson. The tatk about the ineligibility of Mr. Price, owing to his being in United States govern- ment cmploy, has subsided. A number of prominent attorneys have expressed the opinion that Mr. Price does noc come under the section of the code referred to. Mr. Price has long been a prominent worker. in the democratic ranks. Death of Thomas Briscoe. Mr. Thomas Briscoe, a well-known and popular young man, died at his home in this city yesterday, after a lingering illness of consumption. "His funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock from his late residence. Corporation Court. In the corporation court the case of Frank and Steele against H. Friedlander was dismissed; W. M, Peake against J. W. Goods, removal; judgment for default. F. S. Harper against J. T. Cook; judgment for $566.68, with interest, for plaintiff. Charles King against P.

It is expected that a large crowd will attend. Mr. Frank E. Anderson will be the orator of the occasion. No Meeting of Lee Camp. Owing to the fact that there was not a quorum present there was no meeting of R. E. Lee Camp, Confederate Veterans, last night, although one had been called for the purpose of considering an invita- tion from Storer Camp of Strasburg to attend a reunion at Fisher's Hill. It 1s not thought that Lee Camp will accept the in- vitation. Brevities. Councilman Louis Brill entertained his friends at a crab feast last night.

Its Influence Upon Workers in a Government Department. One of the greatest proofs of the encr- vating effects of the heat on the physical condition of mankind was furnished to a Star reporter by the chief of the middle division of the pension department, F. A. Warfield. Mr. Warfield has statisties made out each day showing the amount of work accomplished. The work ts in the form of cases, comprising original, new dis- abilities, widows’ and orphans’ claims. These are filed from the states of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan. The cases are accounted in each day's work when they have been finished, ready for final action by the board of review. “The decrease in the number of cases finished on a warm day is very noticeable, compared with the amount completed on a cool one,” said Mr. Warfield. “After July 1, when the heated term begins, the effects of the warm weather on the number of cases finished are particularly conspicuous. The last two months prior to a leave of absence are the most debilitating. “It must be remembered, before giving the figures, that we are working very hard just now, compared with the usual amount of labor performed in the summer. We are doing more work in this summer sea- son than ever before. I can give you the averages of cases finished daily in cool weather, and also during the past heated term, and what I mean can readily be understood. We are keeping up the pres- sure all the time. Take six days last Feb- ruary. The cases completed in those six days were as follows: 173, 176, 174, 188, 175, 174. This represents @-week's work. “It will be seen that each day's work was nearly the same, except in the middle of the week, when, instead of 174 or 175, the cases ran up to 188. The average day's work is nearly 276 completed cases. Take the present month. July 2, when the thermometer registered 92 degrees, only 158 cases were finished: The day previous, when the thermometer was only 80, 208 cases were completed. July 6, when the maximum temperature was 91 degrees, 147 cases were sent forward. July 7 the ther- mometer showed only 87 degrees, but the effects of the heat of the previous night were plainly showm. On that day only 110 cases were filed. July’9, when the mer- cury was up near the'90 mark, 149 cases were completed. July 18, when it began to get cooler, 161 were finished. July 14, when the cool weather continued, the record. showed 174 cases. find the record of daily cases finished for six days during the warm weather to be as follows: 166, 110, 147, 149, 148, 147. This is a week's work, and gives an aver- age of not quite 148 cases a day, which goes to prove what I have just been stat- ing. The six days’ work in July makes an average of 143 cases & day, compared with 176 for the corresponding period in Febru- ary." —_———_ Music, Congress Heights, tomorrow.—ad. —s>—__—_ Special Excursions to Seashore via sna sapere Tickets to Atlantic City, Cape May, Isle City and Ocean Clty, KS" will besa for 10 a.m..and 12 noon Royal Blue Line Sains, ons Fare oe euare during following, at rate of $5 for the round trip. AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN Tribute by Metropolitan Employes to Former President Harries, Clerks’ Assembly Arranging for an Excursion—Wedding at Trinity Ca- tholic Church—Brief Notes, The employes of the Metropolitan Rail- road Company deeply regret the retirement of Maj. George H. Harries from the presi- dency of the road, and many have made open expressions of the fact. There was a meeting recently of a number of the em- ployes, at which the following was drawn up, and The Star is requested to publish it: “As the annual meeting of the stock- holders of the Metropolitan railroad re- sulted in the change of presidency, it is but just to’ say that in Maj. George H. Harries the employes had a stanch friend --one who devoted a great deal of atten- tion to the promotion of their interests. The general expression among the men is that Maj. Harries is a most level-headed man, and one who never felt his position, but, instead, acted very kindly toward his subordinates. In taking his ‘leave he has the best wishes of all of the men. While the loss of Maj. Harries is greatly felt, the new president has received a hearty wel- come, and his appointment is highly appre- cluted.” Will Go on a Cruise. The Clerks’ Assembly, No. 1259, Knights of Labor, held a largely attended meeting last evening at Nordlinger’s Hall, on M street. Three new members were initiated. It was decided to hold the second annual outing of the assembly next week, and a committee, consisting of Messrs. William Schwartz and Wliliam Bornheim, was ap- pointed to make arrangements for the event. The organization will charter ‘he pleasure boat Bartholdi, and leave the wharf at midnight next Saturday. They will cruise down the river, taking break- fast at Marshdll Hall, and then continue the trip some distarce further down the river. On the return stops will be made at River View, Buena Vista, Alexandria and other places. The party will reach home same time Sunday evening or early Mon- day morning. Quiet Wedding. Mitchell Talbot, the youngest son of Mr. Talbot, the well-known merchant of 32d street, was quietly married Wednesday evening at the parsonage of Trinity Cath- olic Church to Miss Dora Halli, the daugh- ter of Mr. Richard Hall of M street. Only a few people witnessed the ceremony. A short reception was held afterward at the residence of the bride. The young couple will live for the present at the home of the bride's parents. Brief Mention. Mr. and Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Maxwell left today for a stay in the mountains. Rev. Dr. Stitt, the pastor of the Dum- barton Avenue M. E. Church, will make an important arrouncement tomorrow morning at the regular service regarding the church improvement. —>— PRODUCE MARKET. Unchanged Prices—Pro- ducts Plentifal. As to butter, eggs and cheese, prices in the local wholesale produce market today are those of a week ago, there being abso- lutely no change in their quotations, Con- sequently, these products are somewhat dull and flat, and they are likely to so re- main for a short time at least. Vegetables and fruits are very plentiful as a rule, although peaches are not as plentiful as they should be at this time. Poultry is in good demand, with practically stationary pric eef and other meats show but little change in price or condition. WHOLESALE Practically Butter.

Clerks’ Annual Excursion, Once @ year the clerks of the city have an occasion upon which they forget the trials and tribulations due to their voca- tion, the impatience of shoppers, and put behind them the speculation as to which rival establishment is offering the greatest bargains—that occasion being when they go down the river for a good time. Their annual excursion occurs next Wednesday, by the steamer Pentz, to River View, and when the boat leaves the wharf at 6:45 p.m. “standing room only” will probably be hanging over the side of the boat. The Clerks’ Association has been organ- ized for twelve years, and many of the leading spirits of today were among the original members. They always appoint a large excursion committee to insure the best of order and to see that every one has an enjoyable evening. The committee this year comprises James Jirdinston, Wm. A. Hungerford, E. K. Plant, J. W. Johnston, S. 8. Adler, R. W. Alnutt, J. W. Brooke, A. Burklin, D. A. Clewell, J. W, Cooke, R. W.: Crounse, H. C. Fisher, M. E. Felka, Phil Friedlander, ike Gans, C. 8.

Christian Endeavor Society Elects Of- ficers—Brief Notes of Even Be- yond the Eastern Branch, The third anniversary of the institution of Electa Chapter, No. 2, Order of the Eastern Star, was commemorated recently at Masonic Hall by a musicale and recep- tion, which was held immediately after the Tegular meeting of the chapter. A pleas- ing program was rendered, consisting of vocal and instrumental selections and rect- tations by the Misses Simpson, Mrs. Web- ster, Prof. Buckler and others. Mr. J. W. Tolson was master of cere- monies, and introduced the Rev. Willard G. Davenport, who delivered an address of welcome and spoke of the noble principles of the order. Worthy Matron C. W. Okey, Worthy Patron C. J. James and the officers of the chapter received the guests, and a com- mittee, of which Mr. H. W. Eno was chair- man, served refreshments. The only saddening feature of the even- ing was the absence of Grand Patron C. W. Okey of the Grand Chapter of the Dis- trict, who departed recently for the moun- tainous regions of the west on account of ill health. Mr. Okey is a charter member of Electa Chapter, and is a zealous worker in the order. Among those present who represented the seven District chapters were Mesdames Okey, Walson, Allen, Shields, King, North, Fisher, Smith, Pyles, Sto Campbell, Ste- phens, Robinson, Teacham.
