The new Tulane Athletic Club was opened last night with @ big benefit for the in- digent yellow fever patients and familles in the city. An attractive program, includ- ing boxing bouts, was arranged.

The most Prominent of these reasons was the oppor- tunity which seemed to be presented for a vigorous and effective campaign through- out the state, looking to the election of a legislature which would secure a repeal of the present iniquitous Parker act, and the enactment in its stead of a law framed, in- tended and operated to facilitate the right to vote instead of obstructing that right, and to secure a count of every vote cast in lieu of the bonfire of ballots at every pre- cinct which has heretofore proclaimed the methods by which democratic victories have been achieved. Followed New York’s Example. “The address referred to contained an urgent appeal for organization and co-op- eration, where practicable, in order to se- cure this desirable end. Similar action was taken this yesr by the republican state committee of New York. That committee, kowever, went further, and after declaring it inexpedient to call a convention, as only one office had to be filled, the committee itself nominated the republican candidate for that position. In New York state, with a loyalty to party erganization, the action of the committee was acquiesced in, but a different condition confronts us in Virginia. “The chairman of the republican party of Virginia at the time the committee's ac- tion was taken was present in the city of Lynchburg, but did not attend the meeting. At a later date and when no longer state chairman he called a state convention, and conscious that the organization of the par- ty throughout the state was in accord with the action of the state committee, he couraged and invited the holding of meet- ings regardless of any republican organiza- tion for the purpose of electing, or rather selecting, delegates to his supposed conven- tion at Lynchburg on October 5, 18! As was natural under such circumstances, the gathering, wher assembled, as well as the work it performed, utterly lacked represen- tative character, and save for the presence of comparatively few of the supporters of that movement it could not have been rec- ognized by any analogy to any republican convention heretefore held iu the state. Dual Organization Established. “This gathering thus brought together not only named a state ticket, but estab- lished a dual organization in the state, con- trary to party law and to the detriment of the party in the state and its organiza- tion, thereby seeking to supplant the regu- lar organization of the state, of which your committee are the official representatives, and as to whose legality no question can be raised. : “This action thus taken, right in” the inldst of the campaign, by this body, which had no local organization and no legislative ticket in the field, and when it was too late to name them, operates only to dishearten and demoralize the republican voters in the state. Your committee is well aware that prior go the action of the state committee some of the most prominent, able and in- fluential party leaders favored the holding of a convention, but with few exceptions they yielded to the practically unanimous vote of the ccmmittee and determined to abide by its decision. “Such a course followed by all wonid, in the judgment of your committee, have con- tributed greatly to the welfare of the re- publican party. It is hardly necessary for this committee to refer to the irregularity of the so-called convention at Lynchburg, as each city and county in the state repre- sented in said committee is thoroughly ac- quainteé both with the men and the meth- ods used in procuring delegates to that body. Suffice it to say that one-third of the counties in the state sent no delegates at all, while the majority of the counties claiming representation there were over- whelmingly against the action taken by the self-constituted delegates that attended. Defeat Legislative Candidates, “Your committee renew, repeat and re- iterate that portion of the address of the state committee which looked to securing in the next legislature of the state a ma- jority in favor of such changes in the elec- tion laws of Virginia as will remove the stigma which has so long attached to her, and will proclaim to the world that elec- tions in Virginia are once more free and fair. No loyal republican will disregard this injunction, or will let anything inter- fere with this program. Had the regular organization of the rty called and held a state convention it would doubtlessshave nominated a ticket that we could look upon with pride and support with pleasure. Under present con- ditions there will be upon the ballot an in- dependent opposition ticket to the demo- cratis nominee, and jt {& conceded that a republican either in voting for the nominee of the Lynchburg meeting or refusing to vote for them will neither jeopardize nor forfeit his claims or position in the repub- lican party of the stat.

Dr. Bloom of the Charity Hospital pro- wounced his injuries fatal, saying he was suffering from hemorrhage of the brain, and possibly concussion. An ambulance was called and he was taken to the Hotel Dieu. The best of at- tention was given. him, but at 4:15 a.m. he died. Griffin had also been badly punished and was taken to his home. Policemen were sent to watch by Griffin's bedside. Griffin Placed Under Arrest. When Cummings’ death was announced Griffin was placed under arrest, but was not able to be moved. Cummings was a motorman and Griffin the son of a police officer. The former had been married but seven months. The fatal termination of the fight may have an effect on the scheme to revive boxing contests, and may prevent the McPartland-Everhardt fight on Monday night next. During the forenoon today Griffin had re- covered sufficiently to warrant his re- moval to court, searching in vain for a suitable model for one of the figures in this group, “Naviga- tion.” He finally selected Nellie Norman, who became famous as a model. Her Bo- hemian life, however, was too much for her, and in six months the form over which artists had raved was gone and her beauty faded. Becoming sick and discouraged she ney, decided to end the struggle by leath. £>These are our manufacturer's surplus of stock with sleeves larger than now worn.

A call has been issued for a congress of the younger members of the Mcthodist Episcopal Church in the United States, which will be held in Pittsburg, Pa., dur- ing Thanksgiving week. This will be the first meeting of the kind ever held by the Methodists on this side of the ocean, und great interest is being taken in the matter. The call for the meeting was signed by Bishops Ninde, Vin- cent and Fitzgerald of the board of bishops for the Methodist Episcopal Church, Rev. Dr. Dorchester of Pittsburg, Prof. Fletcher Durrell of Lawrenceville, N. J., Prof. J. R. Taylor of Boston, President A. W. Harris of Orono, Me., Chancellor McDowell of Denver, Dr. H. K. Carroll of New York and Dr. C. M. Stuart of Evansville, Il. Membership in the congress is restricted to young people of the Methodist Episcopal Church who have completed college courses of study, or who have become specialists in scientific, literary and professional lines. The object of the congress is to bring these young men together that they may meet and know each other, and recognize more fully than they do at present the church ties which make a common bond. Many interests will be incidentally serve The congress will bring these young pe pie, now almost unknown, to the knowl- edge of the church, with the opportunity for mutual advancement in all work de- manding trained scholarship and superior intellectual equipment. It will interest this class personally and directly in the history 2nd work of the denomination, enlisting their sympathy and enthusiasm, and conserving to the church a source of influence and power much needed and much to he desired. It will im- ress the country at large with the fact hat Methodism now, as in early days, is educating scholars who will do their full share in guarding and promoting religious, educational and reformatory work of the highest character, and it will present to this very class the true ideal of Methodism for a full-hearted, intellectual, serious and refined spiritual manhvod. —— PRECAUTIONS FOR TRAVELERS. for Hton Suits of finest cloths, in- tended to retail at $17.

Three Organizations Hold Regular Meetings Last Evening. The Building Trades Council, at its meet- ing last evening,,President Silver presiding, placed the names of two leading firms on the unfair Hst, the council having reached the conclusion that they were not just in appointing non-union mechanics on a job to which ituwas. believed union men had the exclusive’ right to labor. The council indorsed the postal savings bank system, and the delegates were in- structed to pring the matter before their respective organizations and solicit signa- tures to the’several petitions. It was anhoun¢ed that one of the most extensive operators in the District has promised to employ none but union car- penters in the future, and that he would use his influence to get other operators to do likewise. The secretary reported that he had noti- fied the architect of Senator Foraker’s new house that the contract for the plumbing and steam fitting has been awarded to a union firm. 3 The delegate from the Stone Masons’ Union was admitted and obligated. Six new members were added to the roll of Local, No. 25, National Association of Steam Engineers, at its meeting last even- ing. The grievance committee reported that they had, in conjunction with a similar committee from the Central Labor Union, called on the directors of the Consumers’ brewery in reference to a trouble hereto- fore reported, and that the matter was ad- justed in a manner satisfactory to all con- cerned. After the conclusion of the routine busi- ness, several members of the union de- livered brief addresses on matters of in- terest to those present, the themes being “Electricity,” “Marine Engineering” and “Cold Storage.” Vice President V. S. Foulke of the local Federation of Labor resigned at last even- ing’s meeting of that body, and James B. Dowling was elected his successor. A com- mittee was appointed to investigate a re- port that the men employed to wheel coal aati Capitol were working twelve hours a day. Big values in Parlor Suites.

Building operations in this section of the city are more lively than usual. Mr. George S. Cooper has taken out a permit to eect a row of four three-story brick dwell- ings at 31st and Q streets, which will be a gieat improvement to that section. Three of the houses will front on Q street, while the fourth will front on 3ist street. Mr. Fred. Stohlman will also shortly be- gin the erection of a row of three three- story brick dwellings, with all modern im- prcvements, on N street just west of 32d street, adjoining “Our Hall.” The frame dwellings which formerly occupied the site are now being torn down. Preparations are also being made for the erection of a new brick dwelling on Pros- pect avenue, south side, just west of 32d street, improving a vacant lot there. The old building at the northeast corner of 36th and O streets has been torn down, and a row of new houses will be erected. The property was recently purchased by Mr. James B. Nicholson, and the new buildings will be put up by Mr. Kerr, the ntractor. “Sirs. Ellen O'Neill is having erected a tv.o-story frame dwelling in Harlem, front- ing the Conduit road, which is now well under way. Harry Smith is reconstructing the frame house recently purchased from Timothy O'Neill, in Harlem. The row of four houses on 28th street below N street is nearly completed. The work on the Georgetown University Hospital is being pushed, while the work on the new West- ern High School is so far advanced that the roof is being put on. This fall has been the busiest for many years in building operations in this section. ‘A plat has at last been made out showing the future lines of the public highways in the village of Harlem. Many people have hesitated to build there because of the fear that they would occupy ground which in the near future would be taken up as a public thoroughfare. With the completion of the plat sowing the future course of the streets and avenues, the residents will new have no difficulty in getting the cor- rect lines. In this connection, it is said that the new plat does not provide for extension of Prospect avenue, or any of the other streets running west, thus af- fcrding additional outlets west of George- tewn. There are only two outlets at pres- ent, the Canal road and the New Cut road. There is a distance of fully two-thirds of a mile between the two, and for some time the property owners of the section have clamored for an extension of Prospect ave- nue. No attention has been paid to the re- jest. o Messre. John R. and William H. Lang, the proprietors of the Lang Hotel, on M street adjoining the headquarters of No. 5 Engine Company, were arrested last even- ing by Sergt. Williams on a charge of sell- ing liquor on Sunday. The proprietors were not taken into custody, but were notified to appear in Police Court today. It is claimed that the place was kept open last Sunday; and that a number of persons were admitted and bought drinks. When called in the Police Court this morning the case was continued until Saturday. Bicyclists who visit Georgetown are warned to avoid two places, unless they want to furnish amusement for a number of people.

Isaac Alexander, a man probably ninety years of age, was today sentenced by Judge Kimball to make restitution of a pair of gold glasses to William I. Smith or pay Mr. Smith $6, and failing to do either, to go to jail. After imposing the sentence Judge Kimball releascd Mr. Alexander on his per- sonal bond to get the money and pay the same to the proper person this afternoon, otherwise to undergo imprisonment. The testimony showed that a few days ago Mr. William I. Smith took a pair of glasses which cost $14, but which were valued in the information at $6, to Mr. Alexander to get them mended, and that when he went to get them Mr. Alexander gave him another pair. Henry S. Waple testified that some years ago he took a gold watch valued at $275 to Mr. Alexander to get it-mended, and that the latter tried to make him take a silver watch in its place, claiming that Mr. Waple did not leave the watch he claimed to have left. After many attempts to get his watch Waple threatened to have Alex- ander arrested, whereupon Alexander pro- @uced the right watch. Mr. Waple further stated that afterward he rented a store to Mr. Alexander and that within a short time at least 100 per- sons to his knowledge charged him with substituting inferior goods for articles left by them with him to mend. Mr. Alexander testified in his own defense that he had been in business for sixty years—fifty of them in Washington—and de- nied the charge upon which he was tried and also those made by Mr. Waple; that he is worth at least $20,000, and conse- quently had no cause to do anything wrong. Judge Kimball said it was evident that Mr. Alexander had not returned to Mr. Smith the glasses proven to have been left with Mr. Alexander, and took the action above stated. Should Secure Health Certificates if Going Through the South. The passenger department of the South- ern railway has promulgated the informa- tion that through travel between New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington and all eastern cities, and Montgomery, Mobile, New Orleans and intermediate points, is not subject to any delay on account of the qvarantine regulations. Through sleeping- ear facilities between New York and New Orleans, via Atlanta and Montgomery, re- main unchanged, except that passengers of the Vestibule Limited are transferred at Atlanta into sleeping cars operated between that point and New Orleans. Travelers should take precaution to pro- vide themselves,with health certificates be- fcre beginning their journey. Tfere is no restriction’ to through travelers from the east to points in any of the states east of the Mississippi river, except the state of Mississippi. Persons who are provided with health certificates can pass through this state to points in Arkansas, Texas, etc., through Memphis, Tenn., without de- lays or restrictions; but not through Shreveport or New Orleans gateways. Travelers destined to Savannah, Ga., Jack- sonville and other Florida points are sub- jected to no delay or inconvenience what- ever, as the usual through service fs in effect, passengers being required simply as a matter of precaution to provide them- selves with health certificates before be- ginning their journey ———.__—_ BEFORE JUDGE PUGH.

A meeting of members of the National Association of Mexican War Veterans was held yesterday afternoon at Willard Hall for the purpose of reorganizing. The pres- ident, H. E. Gibson, was in the chair, ana upon the motion of ex-Representative Hare of Texas a committee was appvinted to wait upon Mrs. Kenaday, the widow of the late secretary of the association, and re- ceive from her whatever papers and other material she {s willing to give the assovia- tion. The chair appointed as such com:nit- tee Judge Hare, Judge Johnson and W. B. Milbourne. Maj. S. J. Bealer of Baltimore, a vice president of the old association, addressed the meeting with reference to a reorganiza- tion of the national association. He sug- gested that the secretary and president be directed to communicate with the different state organizations to see whether or not preconcerted action can be secured, and to have all state assemblies become members of the national association. Judge Hare suggested that as many of the vice presidents of the old national as- sociation are in Congress, it would be well to have the meeting called for some date after the convening of that body. This was agreed to, and the second Tuesday in le- cember was chosen as the day of meeting. China Ware Dept. $4 for any of the $6.50 Carlsbad China Tea Sets of 56 pieces that are any way damaged.

Judge Pugh, acting as a court for the trial of charges against policemen, had several officers before him today. L. A. Latehford and William B. Maddox of the fifth precinct were charged with indulging in unnecessary conversation for forty-three minutes on the evening of the 9th instant. They claimed to be watching a party whom they had reason to believe was about to attempt a violation of law. Officers Paul Kerster and J. M. Hester of the third precinct were charged with loung- ing for twenty-five minutes on Pennsyl- vania avenue near 18th street northwest, October 6. They pleaded guilty and ex- plained that their beats are side by side, and that, being ex-soldiers, they were en- gaged in talking over some of their old- time experiences. Officers L. J.
