AFFAIRS [I ORGETOWN. Americus Blackwell's Body Recoyer- ed—General and Personal News. The body of Americus Blackwell, colored, who was drowned yesterday morning at the stone quarry of Jefferson Hughes, on the Virginia side of the Potomac, about half a mile east of the Chain bridge, was recovered in the afternoon about 3 o'clock by a crew from the police boat Vigilant. As stated in Th? Star yesterday, Blackwell, who was eighteen years old, was employed as a laborer at the quarry, and in attempt- ing to get out of the way of a blast that was about to be exploded fell overboard and was drowned. The remains were brought to the wharf at the foot of 324 street. The body was taken to the morgu2 at th Georgetown station and the coroner notified. Later in the afternoon, afterview- ing tho remains and hearing the story of the occurrence, Coroner Carr issued a cer- tficate of death by accidental drowning. The remains were taken to the hom2 of the deceased on the Little Falls road.

Association met in y afternoon at Kiks* ssion Form of Contra » Retail Butchers’ al s n yester 1 to disc: Special the recent form of contract offered by hington Market Com- pany to the stand owners. Two clauses in the contract met with their hearty dis- approval. One objection was based on pa- triotism, they said; the other because the market company was infringing its rights. The market company, !t was claimed, to evade the war tax of 25 cents on each con- tract, had ceased the custom that had pre- valied for many years of compelling monthly contracts and had substituted a yearly form of contract. Many of the andholders had signed the new form, but the Retail Butchers’ Association had determined to object. There were 666 stands in the market. The substitution of the yearly for the monthly contract, it was claimed, would save the market company and take from the rented stalls a total of $1,831.50 annu- ally. President Kelly explained these mat- ters to the association when he called the meeting to order. ‘Theodore Barnes expressed the hope that every member of the association would stand together in whatever action is taken, Upon motion Messrs. Brown, Hunt and Stuart were appointed a committee on res- lutions, and later reported. The resolu- tfi™s express their objections at the al- leged unpatriotic action of the market com- pany. Those present included Messrs. A, J. Hur- ley, John R. Kelly, Theodore Barnes, Geo. Carll, Jacob West, J. H. Buscher, J. J. Lightfoot, Wm. Hunt, Walter Brown, W. H. Monroe, George Hunt, John Magee, Randolph Stuart, James W. Hunter, T. F. Riley, H. C. Riley, Edward Burke, L. C. Resenbush and M. C.

Several Communications Received by The Star on, the Subject. Several communications have been re- ceived by The Star incited by the letter published a few days ago on police pro- tection. “Sine Cera” says there is no such thing as police protection, and that it is “‘a mere fiction in certain localities.” He adds: “A certain esteemed citizen, friend and neigh- bor, living near 28th and P stréets north- west, is convalescing from an attack of nervous prostration and insomnia, superin- duced by the inevitable street noises of both day and night, viz.: Newsboys hawk- ing papers in the early morning, say, about 6 o'clock, harrowing that particular square on 28th between P and Q streets north- west, for upward of an hour, and this, too, despite the protest of sald good citizen et al. who even made a pilgrimage to the District of Columbia Commissioners, but he had his trouble for his pains. Pie and milk wagons, heavy double teams, driven like Jehu, about 5 o'clock a.m. until the welkin rings and ‘nature’s sweet restorer, balmy sleep,’ is banished for the day. And all this happening very opportunely for these law breakers and murderers of innocent sleep during the ‘dog watch’ of the police. During this watch all offenders are im- mune from apprehension or arrest, and taxpayers are outraged by these nonde- script ‘street Arabs!’ Now, I submit that, while there may be such a war emergency as to justify semi-occasionally the crying of ‘extras, albeit nothing extra, out of hours, there is no such exigence in the ordinary course of the newspaper, milk and pie business as would justify this will- ful sleep murdering. ‘Me thought I heard a voice cry, “Sleep no more! Macbeth doth murder sleep! The innocent sleep, sleep that knits up the raveled sleeve of care, the death of each day's life, sore labor's bath, balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course, chief nourisher in life's feast But these American Macbeths, ‘their name is legion,’ and they not only make both night and day hideous, but cause the taxpayer to ery out in despair, O°! for a lodge in some vast wilderness! O! that I had the wings of a dove, that 1 might fly away and be at rest!’ Rest for the wear: A subscriber 1s glad to learn that “An Employe” has, through the columns of The Star, ‘spoken for the benefit of the employes of the bureau of engraving and printing. I think it an outrage to have women work sixteen hours a day at hard labor, then to have no convenience for them to get home at 12 o'clock at night. If these poor souls are to work until this hour it is at least the duty of the officials to provide some means of protection to see them safely through the disreputable parts of the city and not subject them to insult walking down 14th street. The chiefs might at least grant them time to meet the last car down 14th street or charter a conveyance to take them to a near car line. It is intluman to have women work such long hours in this extreme warm weather, but since they are compelled 1 think they might be granted some comfort- able means of reaching home. If they cannot have cars let them have police pro- etion.”” D.

To the Editor of The Evening Sta It scems never to oceurred to any one that the adulation and undue Monizing of the brave Cervera, the offer of gifts, of houses, ete., places him in a most unenvi- able position with his own government. It would be fatal to him should he return to Spain if he accepts these offers, and he would probably be embar d_to decline. For his own sake, apart from the servility of his impulsive admirers, do not press this thing. He is a brave, chivalrous gentle- n, commander of our enemy’s fleet, until ytured—now our prisoner of war. Do not ade him by such treatment as might be awarded to Dewey or Schley.

Work to Be Began at Richmond Early Next Fall: It has been decided to begin work on the buildings of Virginia Union University, of which Wayland Seminary, this city, is to form a part, early the coming autumn, but to take plenty of time about completing them, in order that they may be substan- tial. They are to be four in number, and to be located on grounds adjoining those of the Hartshorn Memorial College, in the suburb of Richmond. The university is a development of the American Baptist Home Mission Society and is for the education of colored pupils. It is to be grouped around the Richmond Theological Seminary, which is to become the biblical department. -The old Wayland Seminary at Washington, as heretofore mentioned in The Star, is to be removed to Richmond, and two other in- stitutions to become affiliated with the uni- versity are Spiller Academy, at Hampton, and Virginia Seminary, at Lynchburg. The library ‘and chapel, the latter a room on the second floor of the library, to seat 600, is to be erected by contributions from col- ored people, led by graduates of schools now to be affiliated with the university.
