Delegation 4 delphia and Return time, aks for One to Span the Eastern Branc A large delegation of citizens interested in a bridge across the Eastern branch at the foot of South Capitol street had a hearing before morning. The object was to urge the Commissioners to recommend to Congress an appropria- tien for the construction of the bridge. Mr. Simon Wolf was the spokesman for the delegation. He sald the citizens were present to urge the construction of a bridge across the Eastern branch at South Capi- tol street. the Commissioners this It was not a new matter, the svbject having been agitated some time ago, when the details were all laid before the Commissioners, who approved it, and recommended 8: and ment, U.S. A, congressional vey Was made upon this representation, Major Davis of the engineer depart- in his report gave a de- action.

This was so far in excess, he said, of what was necessary that the matter was submitted to the Phoenix Bridge Company for its estimate upon the plans submitted by Major Davis, and its highest total esti- mate, including a cost of $100,000 for ap- proaches, was $388,000, a difference of nearly $4W,000 below the engineer's esti- mates. Commi ner Ross said he had always been in favor of the bridge, and considered it one of the important needs of that part of the District. He said the matter would be taken up by the Commissioners when they considered their estimates. ———_ If you want anything, try an ad. in The If anybody has what you wish, you will get an answer.

Marshall Williams, a colored man, who lives at No. 1454 Madison street northwest, complained to the police last night that his Knights Templar coat had been stolen, and he suspected that his son, Marshall Williams, jr., had committed the theft. Before the police had time to make a thor- ough investigation of the case a report was received that the young man suspected had ended his life by jumping in the river at the flood gates near this end of the Long bridge. It was a few minutes after 10 o'clock at night when a young colored man in his shirt sleeves was seen on 1th street south- west, going in the direction of the bridge. He was evidently not seen by a policeman, cr he would have been arrested as a sus- piclous character. Soon after he reached the bridge a splash was heard, and several persons responded to the alarm. “Somebody's jumped in the river,” was the startling announcement. A colored man and woman on the bridge saw the boy when he made the leap, and they thought he tried to swim after he got into the water, but was prevented from do- ng so by the strong tide. They were power- less to help him, as were two men who were on the bridge fishing. The man in the water soon became exhausted, and sank beneath the surface. Policeman Fugitt reached the bridge soon afterward and made an effort to recover the body, several citizens assisting. It was not recovered until about 1:40 o'clock this morning, when it was sent to the morgue. A vest picked up cn the bridge bore the name and address of Williams. The body of the suicide was fully identi- fied today, and the police notified the father of the deceased to take the body. Coroner Carr made an investigation of the case and deemed an inquest unnecessary. ———— POSTAL CLERKS HERE. Large Delegation City. A delegation of postal clerks to the num- ber of about 500 visited Washington today and took in the sights of the city and the public buildings. They were members of the National Association of Postal Clerks, end have been attending the annual con- vention of the association in Baltimore. The party will leave Washington at 5 o'eicck this afternoon. The members ex- pressed themselves as being charmed with Washington and proud of their national capital.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 10.—Seven persons were injured in a collision of elec- tric cars on Mission street last night. A car of the Bryant street line, returning from Ingleside, had reached the top of Col- lege Hill, when the fuse or connection which carries the electricity to the motor: from the overhead wires suddeniy burne- out, leaving nothing with which to contro: the car except the brakes, and they were of little use. The lights went out, and the Passengers were panic-stricken. ‘The car continued its flight until at Mission and 1ith streets it ran into a car ahead of it. The passengers in the car that was run into escaped with a rough shaking up and a bad scare. Both cars were damaged. The conductor of the runaway jumped be- fore the collisien occurred, and escaped with a few bruises. The motorman re- mained at his post, and was not hurt. The following persons were injured: Mrs. M.

NEW YORK, September 10.—There wa: an accident at Willets Point on Long Is- land sound today which resulted in the death of two men and the probable fatal injuring of three or four more. For a long time extensive improvements have been going on inside the fort. New guns, which arrived a short time ago and are to guard the sound, are being put in place and many laborers are employed tn the work. About 8 o'clock this morning there were seven laborers, nearly all residents of the village of Whitestone, at work operating a huge derrick, which was being used in changing the position of a gun. From some cause the supports of the derrick gave way and it fell. = John Brash and William Bendheimer, both residents of Whitestone, were killed outright. Three others, whose names have not been ascertained, were perhaps fatally Injured. The bodies of the dead men were taken from beneath the derrick by the United States engineers stationed at the fort and the Injured were removed to the post hos- pital. The officers in charge refused to say anything about the accident. The names of the two men mcst serlous!; injured are Brice and Higgins. The of the last named is broken and he has sustained Internal hurts. Brice’s collar bone was broken. —_. Atlantic City.

LE PASSED IN THE CONVENTION Officers of the Union Seem to Have Little Influence. RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED COLUMBUS, Ohio, September 10.—The miners are still talking, in national conven- tion, about a settlement of the strike, and reporters who hang about the doors out- side say the canvention will run into to- morrow. The third day’s session was called to or- der at 8 a.m. At the Thursday afternoon session two test votes were taken that had direct bearing on the quest!on of accepting the proposition cf the Pittsburg operators of 65 cents per ton. The resolution at stake was a proposition from Chris Evans to the effect that in the event of a settlement the work of organization was to be continued in the West Virginia fields, and to give the result to the newspapers. A delegate called for a division of the ques- tion, and both were promptly voted down. In fact, up to this time every proposition made by the officers who have proposed the settlement has been promptly shelved. The opposition to the settlement in a pri- vate way claims to control two-thirds of the members of the convention. Contributions Will Cease. A prominent man, one who has been in- strumental in raising a large amount of aid for the starving miners in Ohio, says the convention had better accept the proposi- tion, as it would in the future be almost an impossibility to secure further contribu- tons. - It is known that the day will be mainly devoted to considering resolutions bearing on certain things. A most exciting incident happened when a new delegate from Cecil, Pa. (the home of President Dolan), pre- sented his credentials. The delegate is a Frenchman and a very bright man. He brought with him a letter from the local union emphatically declaring against ac- cepting the 65 cents offered by the Pitts- burg operators. The reading of the letter nearly resulted in a rough-and-tumbie fight, and only a prompt explanation saved @ most disgraceful scene on the floor of the convention. President Dolan promptly de- clared the letter “a le.” The delegate de- liberately pulled off his coat, threw it on a hair, and in vigorous language inquired: Does the president mean to say that I am a liar?” “No,” replied President Dolan, mean to say that the letter is ali “Phat is all right as to the letter, but he must 1ot say that-I am a liar. As to the letter being a lie, Mr. Dolan can settle with the local union when he returns home.” For the time the difficulty was averted, but it clearly indicated that even in the Pittsburg district the feeling is not ali for accepting the proposition of the miners. All Must Work or None. One of the matters which has its in- fluence with the Indiana delegations 1s that ex-President Penna, now superintend- ent of a mine at Brazil, Ind., and J. H. Tolley, the largest mine owner in the state, asked President Ratchford some time ago for a permit to secure 75 per cent of the operators in Indiana to pay any demand of the miners, on condition that the In- Clana ‘operators be allowed to resume work. This Mr. Ratchford declined. He said all must go to work or none. Some of the Indiana delegates look upon this act of Mr. Ratchford as a “‘lost opportunity” for them, for now they know they cannot settle upon any such favorable terms. They ‘rave instituted active work to bring the Indiana operators into line. Important Resolution Offered. The most important resolution today pro- vided for a 65-cent rate in the Pittsburg district, all other fields in the competitive districts to be at the same ratio. The reso- lution was tabled. It would have covered all the states. A substitute is to be of- fered providing for the 65-cent rate in the Pittsburg district, pure and simple. A large number of telegrams were receiv- ed from Pittsburg labor leaders urging the acceptance of the 65-cent rate. The telegrams state openly that the price is reasonable and ought to be accepted, and if not accepted that public sympathy will be withdrawn and the miners left to fight the battle on their own resources. Work Resumed at Fairmont. FAIRMONT, W. Va., September 10.— Many more miners resumed work here yesterday. Agitators Rea and Wood have gone, and no matter what the result of the Columbus conference may be, a general re- sumption of work is assured here. Ohio Miners Go to Work. MARIETTA, Ohio, September 10.—The recently organized union miners at all the mines between here and Palos went to work at 54 cents, an advance of 6 cents over the old rate. The product is con- tracted for by Cleveland and Toledo par- tes at $1.50 a ton. TROUBLE AT DE ARMITT’S MINE. Four Strikers Arrested—Woman Uses a Club With Effect. PITTSBURG, Pa., September 10.—Two miners named John Hogan and Murray Sutton, employed by the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal Company, attempted to interfere with a squad of women, wives of strikers, who were marching this morning at Plum Creek. Hogan tried to push Annie Fiela, the leader, off the road, when she knocked him | down with a club, inflicting a paintul wound cn the head. The women then con- tinued their march. A short time later a body of strikers were stopped near Center by a party of deputies and ordered back to camp. Rudolph Lisey, who was leading the marchers end carrying an American flag, refused to stop and was arrested. Three cthers who took Lisey’s place were also arrested. The’ marchers finally turned back and the four men under arrest were sent to Pittsburg jail. ees ALL ANTI-LAMB MEN. eg Secret Conference of Prominent Vir- ginia Repablicans at Richmond. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. RICHMOND, Va., September 10.—A num- ber of prominent republicans held a secret conference here fast night, and are in ses- sion again today. They are all anti-Lamb people, and among those present are Chair- man Park Agnew of the state committee, Collector James D. Brady. of the internal revenue office here, Judge Edmund Waddill, js., Gen. Edgar Allan, Gen. Stith Bolling of Petersburg and Morgan Treat of King Wil- liem. It is stated on the side that the prime object of the conference is to discuss plans for vigorous legislative contests this fall. It is also understood that the civil service qvestion came up, and that Collector Park Agnew was advised to pursue the same policy in his district as Collector Brady has pursued here. From another source it wag learned that the question of political patronage was brought up and discussed and some plans adopted for the future. It is a well-known Lamb the ittee and his followers, who are de- mending that a state be held. he mareners of the contecencs are: JOHN Sapers BRUTALITY | Oonvicted in Police Court of Breaking His Wife's Jaw. are sal The Woman W: Otherwise Seriously SSRIS 12 Reproved for Grinning—Seatence Imposed. John Street, ‘Whose, occupation is stated to be that of bar tender, was today con- victed before Judge Kimball and a jury of assaulting and breaking the jaw of his wife, Mrs. Mabel Street. Mrs. Street, who is a very.slender little woman, appeared in court with her face bandaged. She presented a pitiable ap- pearance. The prisoner, who occupied a seat by his counsel, J. McDowell Carring- ton, endeavored, before his wife took the stand, to persuade her to desist from prose- cuting him. Failing to accomplish this, Street ap- peared to regard the whole matter as a joke, and grinned almost continuously un- Ul the court rebuked him for his levity. Major Carrington immediately stated that he thought the court was mistaken in thinking that Street was laughing. Judge Kimball replied that he himself saw the prisoner grinning, and that he must stop it. Mra. Street's Story. Upon taking the stand Mrs. Street, who was scarcely able to talk, said that on the evening of the 24th of August her husband came to their home, and, after some con- yersation in reference to Street's desire to furnish a male companion of his with sup- per, and .which she refused to agree to, struck her in the face and broke her jaw bone. Previously, she said, he had beaten her tn the side and injured her seriously. Since her jaw was broken, she said, she roe not been able to take any but liquid ‘ood. She declared that Street had posed as a single man, and though she had several times had him arrested for his abuse of her she had always heretofore let up on him. On one occasion when she had a warrant out for him, her husband threatened that if she did not have the warrant revoked he and a friend of his above referred to would say something against her character. This had reference to the fact that her husband had permitted the friend to occupy a bed in the room where they slept. Mrs. Hurley, mother of Mrs. Street, said that on the night of the assault she met Street some distance away from the house of her daughter, and that Street asked her to see Mabel, as he had struck her in the jaw, and he thought had hurt her a good deal; that he had done so becaluse she made him mad. Mrs. Hurley said she had taken care of both her daughter and the latter's husband for a long time, and despite this Street last winter attempted to assault his wife with a knife. A Serious Affair. Dr. Hooe, who attended Mrs. Street for her injuries, said that while the breaking of Mrs. Street's jawbone was a very serious affair, the injury to her side was, in his judgment, much more serious, and that she would be much longer in recovering from it than from the other hurt. Officer Newkirk arrested Street. He tes- tified that the prisoner asked, when taken irto custody, whether or not his wife was seriously hurt, and. wanted the officer to let him go back, to his wife, so that he could make an effort to compromise the case. He claimed that Mrs, Street had struck him with a brick. He also demand ed to know if the.policeman had a warra’ for him, but wag informed that the offense charged was of a serious character, and that a warrent was not necessary. In His Own Behalf. Street was swcrn in his own behalf, and in reply to qvegtions from his counsel made a long, rambling and at times inco- herent statement, déclaring that lis wife broke her jaw by faling over a box in the hall of their house. 4: Prosecutor Mullowny offered to submit the caxe to the jury without argument, but Maj. Carrington would not consent to this, and Mr. Mullowny then waived the right of making an opening statement. Maj. Carrington made a long an@ earnest plea in behalf of his client, to which Mr. Mullowny replied. After the usual charge by Judge Kimball, the jury took the case, and in a few minutes rendered a verdict of guilty. Court Passes Sentence. Immediately after the rendition of the verdict the court took a recess for three- quarters of an hour. Upon reassembling Judge Kimball stated he had been informed that Major Carrington, counsel for the prisoner, did not desire to be present when sentence was passed, and Mr. Mullowney asked Street how much time he had pre- viously served in jail for beating his wife. “Ten days,” he replied. “I was sentenced for sixty days, but only served ten days.” “How did you get out?’ was the next inquiry. “My wife paid the fine,” answered the prisoner. “Well, your honor, here is a’ pretty state of affairs,” commented Mr. Mullowney. “This man, whose little wife paid his fine to get him out of jail, has had the impudence, as you know, to get on the stand and try to defame her character.” “One of the meanest things in the world for a man to do,” observed the court, “is to strike a woman, but the meanest of all for a man to strike his wife. Street, you have béen convicted by a jury of breaking your wife’s jaw, and besides, you injured her side, as the doctor said. How you, who call yourseif a man, could be guilty of such actions is more than I can conceive of, and I am going to give you the full benefit of the law. You are sentenced to imprison- ment-in jail for 364 days.” Threate to Get Revenge. Street was at once taken to the cell room by Bailiff Darr, and on the way he told Mr. Darr that he intends when released to kill his wife. The threat made by Street was duly reported to Prosecutor Mullowney, who will, it is safe to say, see that Mrs. Street 1s properly protected when her lus- band is again at liberty. ——_.—__ Vice Consul at Cape Town.
