THE SOLDIERS.
Meeting of the National Veteran Club.


The regular weekly meeting of this live club
was held at the rooms, in LIE Droit building,
last evening; Colonel Tichenor, president, in
the chair. The rooms and corridors were
packed with the veterans of the war, and the
utmost enthusiasm was manifested. Much
routine business was transacted. A commit
tee of five was appointed to prepare a roster of
the widows and orphans of the war employed
in the Executive Departments, with the view
to aiding them in the proper presentation of
their claims for retention. The matter of the
soldiers interests, in view of necessary reduc-
tions in the civil service, was thoroughly dis
cussed, and confidence expressed that their
claims would be considered favorably by the
heads of the several Departments.
Several instances were reported where sub
ordinate officials had manifested hostility to
the employment of worthy and capable SOL
diers. TIE general sentiment expressed was
that great care should be exercised in putting
out such reports, and committee of five was
appointed to consider all charges of this
nature and sift them to the bottom, requiring
positive and unquestionable proof that in
justice was being done or threatened to worthy
soldiers before any action by the club.
The executive committee reported the
arrangements for attending the mass conven-
tion at Indianapolis well advanced. A large
number of new members were received.
The document committee, consisting of
Comrades Baxter, Ferree, Stephens, Marshall
and Ellis, reported the work being pushed en-
ergetically, applications being filled as fast as
received.
During the evening the glee club sung seve-
raj fine songs, end drill was had by the whole
club in the Campaign Glee Book.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Three Men Injured.

Yesterday morning an accident occurred to
the Philadelphia express train at Wiuan's
station, nine miles this side of Baltimore.
The train ran of from the main track on to a
side track, on which gravel train was stand
ing, with which the express train collided.
The engines were both badly damaged. The
engineer of the express train, John McGee,
had his leg crushed off and was injured also
tagh, was badly SCALED, and a brakeman
named George Hulse received cut on the leg
and a slight fracture. None of the passengers
were injured. McGee and Murtagh were
carried back to Baltimore. Hulse, who re-
sides here, was brought to this city with the
train. 1t is not known how the accident hap
pened, whether it was caused by the misplace
ment of the switch or whether the engine
jumped from one track to the other while
crossing the frog.

Case Of Rev. Charles King.

The jury in the case Of Rev. Charles King,
pastor of the Methodist church at Manassas,
failed to agree, and new trial has been Or
dered. Mr.. King was first charged with an
attempt to outrage Mrs. Storey, one of his
parishioners, in her own house; but this charge
was finally abandoned by the prosecution, and
he was tried for simple assault. 1t was pretty
clearly established that the reverend gentle
man called at her house, and feigning illness
was permitted to recline upon her bed, where
not resting easily he importuned the lady to
join him-frst with her sewing in q social way,
and later to surrender her person to his en-
braces in a carnal way. Proof that he used
actual force, however, to effect his purpose was
not made, and, as before stated, the jury dis
agreed and a new trial was ordered. Rev.
Charles King is large man of rather prepos-
sessinp appearance,

BIGAMY,
A Clear Case Established.

The case of. Thomas Brannum, charged with
bigamy, was taken up in the Police Court yes
terday: Mr.. Birney, representing the Govern
ment, and G. W. Mitchell appeared for the ac-
cused.
Rev. J. W. Walker testified that he married
the prisoner in February, 1875, to Anna Bran
mum.
Emma jackson, the second wife, said that
she had known the defendant for four years,
and was married to him on last Thursday.
Brannum had told her, previous to that time,
that he was married to Anna before marrying
her, but she left him, married another man,
and that gave him liberty to do the same.
Rev. Mr.. Bingey, pastor of the Nineteenth
street Baptist church, testified to having mar
ried Brannum and Emma Jackson last Thurs
day night. Brannum was committed to jail
for the action of the grand jury in default of
81 600.

Reducing Wages,

The board of directors of the O-street and
South Washington street passenger railway at
their meeting last Monday decided to reduce
the wages of their car-drivers from 81 to s1.75
per day, the order to go into effect next Mon
day. This reduction of pay will come exceed
ingly hard on the men who work fifteen hours
out of the twenty four, and have to perform
the combined duties of conductor and driver.
When consideration is taken of the service
rendered, time employed and nature of the
duties performed the salary of S2 per day does
not appear unreasonable. Most of the driyer5
are men with families to support, and they
should be allowed sufficient to provide for
them decently. If they are incompetent, the
company has remedy in filling their places
with reliable men, but it does not appear gen
erous to place those that are faithful on star
yatiOn wages
