The strike of the painters was on yester- | day and the Turk-street Temple was in a | hubbub of excitement all day.

At the evening meeting | O'Farrell street, and Lawrence Dwyer, Post street. Several others were reported as consent- ing to the wage demand, including the eight hours, but refusing the Building and Trades Council card. The reports in detail were as follows: Henry W.

Y O Sellers--That he would not agree to anything, but would run his business to suit himself. y Pairick Murphy—Will pay what the others do. B. Bradley & Son—Willing to pay $3 per day, but would not sign the working-card. homas Downing—Willing to pay wages and assent to the card if the others could be made to do so. o 3 Brace—Will not sign and bind himselfin any way to the union.

Mclvor, Business Agent of the X’nin!cl_‘s' and Decorators’ Protective Asso- ciation, Now Out on Strike. [Reproduced from a photograph.] 148 new members were initiated into the union, and the men are confident of suc- cess. This morning committees will visit every job of work in the City and call out every union man employed there except those | employed by master painters who have | accepted the terms of the union. | The painters say they are now in com- mand of the situation, as the union now numbers in 1ts membership nearly all the expert workmen in the City. *It does not take much money to go into the painting business,” said R. T. Mclvor, business agent of the association. -“They know that if they refuse to pay us wages we will en- ter into competition with them and simply do all the work thatis to be done. That is where we have the best of it. “Thus the: master painters,” he con- tinued, “‘have been figuring on their work at $3 per day for the journeymen, and then paying the journeymen $2 and $250. St. Denis & Co. have the big job on the Par- rott building. not on contract but day wages, ana they have employed there | Italians and Frenchmen, who cannot get employment elsewhere, because they can- not understand the language, and they are paying them as low as $1 per day, and | charging the Parrott estate $3. All union | men have struck from the job.” | Muany of those who joined last night are foremen of the shops, and who have never | been connected with any union before; | men drawing the largest salaries in thel trade. It 1s intimated that they have taken this step at the instance of the master painters themselves, as according to the conditions of the strike the men could not go back to work under foremen who were not union men. At the meeting at the Temple in the morning it wes decided to send out com- mittees to visit the master painters and to assemble again at 3 in the afternoon to hear the reports. | In the afternoon about 200 journeymen | painters met in the hall, with President | Rose presiding. He called for reports, and they were made in rapid succession. | Most of them were of an unsatisfactory | charagter. The tenor of nearly all of them | was that the masters *‘would like to pay | the wages. but would do so only if the others did.” | Five firms were reported to have con- | sented to the terms of the union. They | were: H. Wagner California street, Thomas Downing, Mission street; M. L. McCord, Market street; John Mellen, NEW TO-DAY.

Beerbaum—Willing to pay the wages, but | object to the card. {ern & Iback—Will pay ii the others do, | but not otherwise. Vice-President Eaton of the Master | Painters’ Association was reported by R. T. McIvor as claiming that the union had not given them a fair warning and had treated them unfairly. This was dis- claimed. Mclvor, in a short address, said: “It | simply comes to this: The master paint- ers say they will pay the wages and recog- nize the urnion when they are combelled | to. They invite us to compell them. If | we stand together we can do that. If we break ranks we will be compelled to go | back to work at any wages that may be o{tered us.” This was greeted with ap- plause, “The greatest difliculty this movement | has_to meet,” said McIvor, “is the firm of St. Denis & Co. They are employing sail- ors and other inexperienced men on their | | big jobon the Parrott building, and dis- | charging union men because they are | 2 | generally, and even know, I think, that union men.” A number of others in the house corrob- oraced this statement. i C. L. Ames stated that he had visited | the A. P. A. employment office on Post | street and inquired if they would supply 1 men to the master painters at less than $3 | per-day. He was assured that the bureau could have no compunctions of conscience about doing that; they wounld supply men at any rate the men tnemselves would ac- cept. The office was supposed to be sup- ported by a per capita tax of the councils, and as few of them paid the tax the man- ager felt independent of them. Ames said further that he had gone to the office of the and Mr. Fitzgerald there assured him that he would furnish | no labor except at full wages. A motion of censure of the A. P. A. office was made, and with only slight protest was passed. A committee of ten was appointed, each member of which was to select four others, ; making ten committees of five each, to | visitall work bemng done in the City and to call out the union men empioyed upon them. Following is the composition of the committee of ten: V. McAvoy, C. L. Ames, C.8. Merril, Tom Moran, William Danielson, A. L. Schell, Charles Schultz, f. J. Peters, A.J. Skinner and R. T. Mc- vor. PAINTERS' STRIKE INDORSED, { Carpenters’ Unions Will Stand by the Men of the Brush. Carpenters’ and Joiners’ Union No. 483 | held a long and interesting meeting last evening, and .unanimously indorsed ‘he painters’ and decorators’ strike for higher wages and shorter hours. Both organiza- tions belong to the Building Trades’ Coun- cil, and all the members of that body vir- tually indorsed the strike before it was begun. After a long argument it was decided to raise the initiation fee 1o $10 on and after the 1st of May. It wasagreed thatit is too oiten the case when times are easy and no labor troubles to annoy the workingmen | that the latter lose interest in the unions and gradually drop out in the belief that they can easily join again by the payment of a dollar or two. It is contended that with a high initiation fee the working man will think twice before neglecting his minor ob- ligations. This particular time has been D2vé & CrzuicaL Coxi selected for raising the fee because neasly | | which had inflicted so much sorrow on | organized the Regular Republican Club of all the carpenters in the City are now in the unions. The other unions will proba- bly take similar action. Only four of 483’s members opposed the measure. The platform of principles formulated by the labor convention were indorsed by the union. % On next Sunday the bakers of this State will hold a convention at 117 Tark street, under the auspices of Bakers’ and Con- fectioners’ Union No. 24. The purpose is to unite all the bakers’ unions in the State under the international organization. Also to form unions in ail cities and towns where at present no unions 'exist. Many matters of interest of a statistical and hygienic nature will be presented to the convention. There are signs of prosperity to be seen in the Ironmolders’ Union. Never be- fore in the history of the organization has so much attention been paid to social fea- tures as at present. On the 23d inst. there will be a social held in their headquarters at 1150 Mission street, and on the 28th the union will give a grand ball in Native Sons’ Hall on Mason street. At the meet- ing last evening preparations were made ‘ljorl a picnic to be held in Glenwood in uly. WHAT ST. DENIS SAYS, They Are Opposed to the Union Because They Will Not Be Dictated To. Thomas Macauley of the firm of St. Denis & Co., speaking about the strike yesterday, said: “We are paying $3a day to more men than any other concern in the City. We are paying $3 50 to some men, and to grainers $4. It is true that we do not want to employ union men. We do not want to be dictated to by Mr. McIvor or any other walking delegate. We have men who have been in our employ for eighteen years. They do not belong to the union. Is it fair that we should be compelled to discharge them for that rea- son? *The whole matter is just this, that the men who belong to the union, about 700 they claim, want to do all the work;while the other 1500 painters in the City might starve. Besides there is a great deal of work that is not worth $3 a day. “So it is true that we do mnot care to employ union men."” A SPIDER'S FATAL BITE Terrible Death of a Sea Cap- tain’s Six-Month-Old Daughter. Little Catherine Lund While Asleep Falls a Victim to a Venomous Insect. Little Catherine Lund, an infant daugh- ter of Captain anc Mrs, Lund, whose resi- dence is at 329 Thirteenth street, died on Baturday last in terrible agony as the re- sult of the attack of a venomous spider that drove its poisonous fangs into her left eyelid while she slept. The child was in good health when it was put to bed on Friday evening, but seemed peevish and ill when the mother took 1t up the next morning. The lid of the left eye was swollen so that the sight was almost obscured, and a dark brown mark seemed to be the center of the irri- tated spot. Within a few hours Mrs. Lund | saw that the entire side of ner baby’s head was becoming swollen and, feeling much alarmed, sent for Dr. Lagan. The physician examined the child’s head, which by that time was terribly swollen, and gave it as his opinion that the wound had been caused by a venomous in- sect of some kind. Gangrene had already set in, and while the doctor did everything in his power to alleviate the child’s suffer- ings he informed Mrs. Lund that the case was hopeless, as the poison had obtainea such a start that its fatal progress could not be checked. Mrs. Lund at once instituted a search for the cause of the chila’s terrible condi- tion, and from beneath the bed swept a big hairy black spider, which immediately showed fight. In her anger at the insect her Mrs. Lund crushed it with one heavy blow, so that when Dr. Logan tried to identify it with the venomous spider known to science he was unable to do so, and is still uncertain as to what family it belonged. By the next morning the baby was in a stupor, and it was seen that no chance of its surviving existed. The head on the left side was swollen until the skin was tense and the scalp as hard asa board, and | the dark color of the skin testified to the virulence of the poison. That night, scarcely forty-eight hours after the wound was received, the baby died. Dr. Lagan said last” night that the case was one of the strangest that ever came under his observation. “When I was first called,” he said, “probably within twelve hours after the baby was bitten, I saw from the extent of the gangrene that had resulted that there was hittle chance of 1ts surviving. “The poison injectea by the spider must have been of the most virulent kind to have made such havoc in so short a time. Of course all the efforts possible were made to arrest the progress of the gangrene, but they seemed to have little effect, and all I could do was to alleviate the pain with applications calculated to reduce the in- flammation. “I have always been skeptical of the poisonous attributes of common spiders the insect that stung the little one must have been brought from some foreign country, and by sotne strange chance found its way into the Lund household. The progress of the poison was appallingly rapid, and unless the proper remedies could have been applied within a very few hours after the bite was inflicted there could be no doubt as to the result.” Captain Lund, the father of the child, 'who was only six months old, is a sea~ faring man and is now at sea on a voyage. The mother is nearly distracted "with grief over her liftle daughter’s terrible death and refuses to be comforted. THIRTY-FIFTH DISTRICT. Republicans Organize and Elect Officers. A Big Enrollment.

WAS MUCH ENTHUSIASM Relative Merits of Anarchy and Socialism Hotly Dis- cussed. A SYNQOPSIS OF THE DEBATE. The Cause of Socialism Is Warmly Espoused by L. Nathan and J. R. Martin. Bersaglieri Hall was crowded to1its fullest limits last night. There were socialists and anarchists, all met together to hear the floor to his adversary, who was greeted with applause and hisses. J. R. Martin, a socialist, was the next speaker. He said Mr. Gori seemed to be neither anarchist nor socialist, prop- erly ~speaking. He combatted . Gori’s insinuation that the socialists were becoming active at this season by reason of private political motives, and denied the repeated assertion that socialists, when they obtain power and money soon forget their social- ism. He earnestly contended that pa- tience was necessary in order to realize the socialistic ideal. He deprecated the sud- den annihilation of Government as one of the worst ends had in view by anarchy. Governments, he said, rested upon the united consent of the governed. Destroy the Government and you plunge society into disorder and calamity. Great restlessness had prevailed in the audience toward the end of Mr. Martin’s speech, which had far exceeded the fifteen minutes limit. His voice was finally over- whelmed by cries, hisses and calls for Gori. The anarchist took the floor and having finally stilled the tumult cried: “Mr. Martin has defended government and laws. He has violated the fifteen minutes law. I will refrain from violating it, for I wish to show that for anarchiats to keep faith it is not necessary to offer them rewards and punishments.. We want no tutelage over humanity. They say we follow abstractions. What abstractions? Mr. Martin says there has always been government, but how many | follies have there not been on earth?” Crieg for Griseri Dell’ Olmo to take the floor overwhelmed further speech. Gori dramatically implored his friends not to make any demonstration of hostil- ity, but the tumult lasted fully five min- utes before Signor Dell’ Olmo succeeded reaching the platform and making him- self heard. He began by explninin%that it was his wish to make an equation between capital and labor, but the majority in the audience, not being a mathematical frame of mind, cried him down and got Gorion his feet — Pietro Gori, Anarchist, as He Arpsared When Charming His Audicnce at Wash- ington-Square Hall Last Evening. [Sketched by a * “ Call” artist.] anarchist, Pietro Gori, defend the princi- ples of anarchy against a number of social- 1st orators, all of whom were ready to assert that anarchy was only another word for confusion. The most advanced sect of the anar- chists could easily be distinguished by the red they affected in their dress. Mrs. A. Gaffe, a lady orator, who presided, was almost clad in red; Gori wore a pictur- esque red drapery round his neck; his in- terpreter. Louis K. Feroni, also affected red, as did a number of the other anar- chists, and at one point in the proceedings, when Gori's eloquence had wrought up his hearers to great applause, one enthusi- astic lady threw him a bouquet tied with red ribbon. The socialistic orators all disclaimed be- ing present as representatives of any lodge or society. They simply attended on their own account to defend the principles of socialism against the pernicious inroads of anarchy. They took the flooras occu- sion offered and sought to combat, for the most partin Engiish; Gori’soratorical fire- works being in Italian. Some of the speak- ers became intensely eloquent, but the drawback to a really spirited argument was that with one exception they did not understand Gori and Gori did not un- derstand them. L. K. Feroni, the Fonrinternreter, struggled 1n vain to trans- ate the flow of eloquence to Gori when the Americans were speaking, and to the Americans when Gori was speaking, but after two rounds he gave it up and let the orators fight itout in the dark, so to speak. L. Nathan, Gori's challenger, was the first to take the fleor; he was limited, asall the other speakers were supposed to be, to fifteen minutes. ‘‘As a socialist I attack anarchy,” said Mr. Nathan. “What do we understand by anarchy? Disorder. Fraternity is another word for socialism, but what is anarchy going to do for us? He recommended calmness and deliber- ation. Nothing, he said, could be gdined by violence and disorder. These two lagues of most popular movement in avor of liberty must Ee put down before liberty could be enjoyea by those to whom it 1s now denied. Pietro Gori, who was rapturously ap- plauded, then took the floor and said: ‘‘In- stead of cefending anarchy against so- cialism, I find I have to defend it against republicanism, against monarchy, against tyranny. *‘I expected arguments, and I find accu- sations of bomb-throwing. *“There is no need for me to demonstrate to you that the whole race of !aborersis | robbed, cheated, pilfered, from birth to death. The Government guarantees the wealth of a few to the detriment of the many. When Signor Nathan comes be- fore you to defend government he is really only acting as_any member of the bour- geoise class would. ~ He is in accord with all the ;érejndices, ail the ignorance of to- day. e has accused us of throwing bombs instead of arguments; he has brought murderous accusations against us, when it is the Governments themseives that give lessons of violence.” In illustrating this statement the i?enker reverted to the Governments of uurope, which he referred to as systems of organized brigandage, and gave as the latest example the sending of thou- sands of Italian troops to be mas- sacred in Abyssinia, *and those poor talian soldiers are only a fraction of the victims that the military regime has made in the last five years# It is not anarchists, but governments that teach lessons of violence, and Mr. Nathan upholds govern- ments.” Gori had been listened to with much more attention than his adversary. As bis ime limit was reached he yialded ths again, but the anarchist, with truly touch- ing courtesy, yielded the floor to Mr. Nathan. Gori ended the debate with some Par- thian shots at the socialists. He said they promised many things, which they straightway went and forgot. He hinted that they were office-seekers,and he closed the discussion by reading extracts from “Soeialism in Danger,’ a work by the famous Dutch socialist, G. Doneld Nieu- wenhau. Gor1 closed the book with the remark that the Hollander was a proper sort of socialist, one who bordered on an- drchy, but he would like to know what the people who had been talking were. ONLY A POLITICAL GUN. J. B. Brown and Martin Kelly Were Loaded for Bigger Game. J. B. Brown, the well-known Republican politician of the Twenty-eighth Assembly District, and his friend, Martin Kelly, deny that they had engaged in a quarrel Satur- day night, at the corner of First and Fol- som streets. It seems now that some of their friends played a practical joke upon them when a story was told to the caily papers to the effect that Mr. Brown and his political colleague had been dueiling. It now transpires that it was only a political gun that came near to exploding Saturday night. There was some talk of the principals reaching for more tangible weapons, but that was merely talk. They have been loading their guns for bigger game. As a matter of fact Messrs. Kelly and Brown are old friends and still stand_to- gether in the political arena. It would all have appeared tc them as a huge joke only Mr. Brown believes that people should not joke so grimly at his expense. ‘“Why, there was nothing in it at all.” Brown remarked last evening. *‘There were no old sores. We never had a quar- rel. I haven’t carried a pistol since I was head deputy in the license office under George W, Lees. Somebody wants to in- jure me, it seems. Well, I've been 1in business' for years, and was born |'and raised in my district. Mr. Kelly and I are the best of friends, and we never had even a dispute. I cannot understand it, for there was nothing to quarrel about. 'VANDAL DEEDS AT THE CITY HALL, Public Property Destroyed, Apparently for Re- venge. THE POLICE PUZZLED. A Grievance Against the City Supposed to Be the Motive of the Wrecker. PLUMBING WORK TORN AWAY. Water and Gas Pipes Receive Special Attention From the Mis. creant. A new kind of vandal has broken loose at the City Hall, and within the past few weeks City Hall property to the extent of several hundred dollars has been wantonly destroyed. For a week past Captain Lees’ detectives have been trying to unearth the perpetra- tor of these peculiar offenses, but so far, though there are grave suspicions in cer- tain directions, no arrests have been made. It is thought the culprit is an ex-em- ploye of the mechanical departments, and this is borne out by the singular nature of the vandalisms. Water-pipes have been torn loose from the closets, and the water allowed to flood the floors during the night. In other cases gas-fixtures have | been broken off and thrown on the floor, and the gas permitted to escape for hours. Somebody seems to have a grudge against the overworked taxpayer. Aside from the destruction already men- { tioned, water-supply tanks have been un- screwed and permitted to fall to the floor. This was practiced in a room adjomning Judge Campbell’s courtroom on the base- ment floor a week ago, when the water supply was shut off and the fountain torn down. The next place visited by the destructive | fiend was the hallway leading to the Free Library, where a gaspipe projected from | the wall. The pire was unscrewed and a hali-inch flow cf gas was permitted to es- cape auring the night and until late the next morning, when Day Watchman Kirk- | patrick’s attention was called to it. | These cases are not the only ones. Nickel-plated pipes and other ornamental works have been defaced and cut in sev- eral places. Woodwork and various fix- tures have received marks of the chisel or knife of the person who takes a delight in destroying public property. The matter has been reported to the police, but so far the detectives have been unable to detect the offender. Some of the officials at the hall think it is the work of somebody with a grievance, renl or fancied, against the City. Whoéver it may be, theft is not the mo- tive evidently, as notking is carried away. | Whatever damage is done is made ap- | parent by the wreckage left on the prem- | ises. | It will in all probability cost about $500 | to repair the property injured already. WILL G0 T0 THE COURTS Election Commissioners to Test the County Government Act. Anxious to Ascertain the Term of Office of City and County Officials. The Board of Election Commissioners will endeavor to ascertain, by recourse to | the courts, whether or not the county | government act is constitutional. The matter came up at a meeting of the com- mission yesterday when the matter of precinct registration and the expense at- tached thereto was mentioned. City and County Attorney Creswell said that it would be better to first ascertain whether or not the act was legal and valid asin case it was it would be useless to elect new officials, in view of the fact that the act declares the term of office of city officials to be four years instead of the two for which they were supposed to have been elected. Mr. Creswell was also in doubt whether or not the amendment to the registration act passed by the last Legisla- ture would do away with precinct registra- tion. Mayor Sutro did not seem to be pleased at the prospect of his term being extended two_years, declaring that he was thor- oughly tired of the position. “1 wouldn’t worry about it,” said Mr. Creswell. ‘“You have a remedy if you are tired of drawing your salary. There is nothing to prevent you from resigning.” Mr. Creswell suggested that an agreed case could be commenced in the Superior Court and rushed through to the Supreme Court. He said that at the next meeting of the Commissioners they could proceed to advertise for bids on contracts for the supplying of the necessary stationery for registration, and an injunction suit could be brought to restrain them from award- in_fi_ such contracts. his mode of procedure was agreed upon and the necessary steps will be taken at | The first T knew of it was when 1 was in the barber-shop, and about all the fighting was done there. I couldn’t believe it at first, but I bave an idea now of how it was man- ufactured.” Martin Kelly said that heand Mr. Brewn were the best of friends. “This talk about me carrying a pistol,” he addeq, “is not right. I haven’t carried a gun for years. We didn't meet that night, although we are neighbors; and as for this biff-bang business, do we look badly abused ?” Somebody certainly played ar practical joke, and, after all, it. was only a political gun that was fired. — e Supplies for the Perry. The Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Associa tion has sent a letter to Captain Smith of the United States steamship Perry with reference to the purchase of nautical instruments for that vessel.

Trainer Tom Boyle of A. B. Spreckels’ String Will Demand an Investigation. It is rumored around tke track thatsome of the racers in the Spreckels string have been “stuffed’’ by some of the employes of the stable, which had considerable to do with the change of trainers. Trainer Tom Boyle ciaims to be entirely unaware of any crooked work in the stable, and he will ask for an investigation to clear away the cloud of suspicion which he now thinks rests over him. Boyle claims that if the employes of the stable were guilty of the act charged, they should be ferreted out and punished and not be al- lowed to take positions in other stables. e The Fund Is Growing. A meeting of the Yoara of directors and trustees of the Young Men’s Christian Associa- tion was held last evening. The directors were greatly encouraged by the addition of a $5000 subscription. This brings up the total amount to $83,000 of the $100,000 which they ‘started out to raise a few months ago. No pledges will be binding, however, until the total amount hagbeen subscribed. New committees were appointed, and every effort will be gul forth to raise the remaining $17,000 within the next few weeks. NEW TO-DAY. Admiration Of this solid Oak Sideboard is natural.
