v » THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, } @ B A - ASSOCIATION TOLD OF SLAVERY HERE History of Emancipation| Legislation Traced in Address Last Night. Slavery in the District of Columbia was discussed by the Association of Oldest Inhabitants last night in regu- lar meeting at their headquarters, when the prineipal address of the evening was delivered by James F. Duhamel, vice president. He related the history of emancipa- tion_legislation, and the growth and decline of the slave population in this city. Mr. Duhamel said the slave pop- ulation in 1820, was barely more than 4 per cent, that later it rose to a much higher percentage, but_declined before emancipation became effective, because of the growing practice here of freeing | slaves. "The names of many of Washington's | most_prominent slaveholders were read | by Mr. Duhamel, who related the ex- periences of his own family which had slaves. His principal purpose, how ever, Mr. Duhamel said was to prove that idea that there was cruelty to slaves here” He declared that “every good treatment and considera- tion” was generally given to slaves in | Washington, and that the medical rec- | ords of his own father showed that many slaves were accorded medical treatment. The principal punishment | meted out to disobedient slaves here, he said, was to sell them for shipment South. He recalled one slave family which was broken up when the mother and children were sold South. Reimbursed Owners. Fred A. Emery said that the govern- ment paid for 2,989 emancipated slaves, | reimbursing the former owners to sum of about a million dollars. The highest price, he said, was $788, and the lowest $10.95 for an infant. John Clagett Proctor ridiculed the idea that there were “slave pens” in wi-;hman. “That's all bunk,” he said. Henry L. Bryan, vice president, was given a vote of “gratification” upon his return to the chair of the presiding officer after a recent illness. ‘When the death of Albion K. Parris, vice president of the association, was officially chronicled by the secretary, J. Eliot Wright, several members paid high tribute to Mr. Parris’ “character, business genius and wonderlul life.” “He was one of our best men,” declared Vice President Bryan. ‘Will Use Old Engine. The cld horse-drawn steam fire engine, which appeare¢ in the Labor day nl- rade drawn by the three old fire horses, Barney, Gene and Tom, which was Te- quested as an exhibit for the museum of the association, is still be to used annually in parades, Commissioner Crosby informed Dr. Duhamel, as chair- man of the Committee on Halls and Archives. The Commissioner asked the association “to hold” its request for the present, as the Fire Depanmmt wishes still to use the ine in parades. ch had been a gift to William W. Goddard first paid chief of the Fire Department of the District of Columbia, in 1865, was presented to the association last night Joseph ‘Tunney, 1223 Holbrook street northeast. The presentation was made by Secre- tary Wright. Mr. Proctor presented to the associa- tion ln old handmade brick from the olfl itol, which has been torn down e way for the new Supreme uilding. He read a letter from W T. Bl'\(hl, 92 years old, which re- called memories of the old Capitol, which later had been used as a prison. New members of the Association ad- ‘mitted last night were Charles H. Fran- zoni, W. G. Gleason, John J. Rosemond and Samuel M. Wagner. i The moon's speed in its orbit l.lI 2,288 miles an hour.
