Glenwaad Cemetery.

About twenty of the lot-owners of Glen
wood Cemetery met last evening at st.
Georges Hall, on Eleventh street, between
E and F, in annual meeting, for the pur-
pose of hearing the annual reports and
electiDg three trustees The trustees an
nual report stated that "the litigation,
which has been so long pending, has at last
been finally settled by the Supreme Court
of the United States affirming the decree Of
the District Court, giving the lot-owners
the free control and possession of the
ninety acres of ground dedicated for
cemetery purposes in accordance with tho
regulations prescribed in the amended Con-
gressional charter of February, 1877" The
practical result of this decision is to give
the lot owners the right to elect annually
three or five trustees. The receipts for tho
year amounted to $5,S19.02, while $633.61
remained on hand from the previous year.
The expenses were $5,614.37. The number
of interments was 305. A long statement
was read by the chairman showing the ex-
act status of the company, and affirming
the validity of the titles held by the lot own
ers 1t was ordered to be printed in pamph-
let form. A communication signed by four
of the lot owners was presented, in
which it was asked that inasmuch as the
greater number Of laborers at the cemetery
were colored, and the colored population of
the District contributed nothing toward
the support of the cemetery, that their
places be filled with white laborers so far
as possible. AS there was an evident dis
inclination to take up the race question, 1t
was resolved to refer the matter to the
trustees The secretary was then in
structed to cast the vote of the association
for the old board of trustees and the follow
ing gentlemen were chosen: Messrs. T. w.
Bartley, John McClelland, Thomas j.

Friendship Lodge ofGood Templars

The regular meeting of this prosperous
and active lodge was held last evening at
Northeast Temperance Hall. A very large
membership was present, as were also a
number of visitors from other lodges, SO that
the capacity of the spacious hall was fairly
tested. After the initiation of new mem
bers a reception followed, which was in the
highest degree enjoyable. The order of
Good Templars combining as it does all
the elements of strength in an organi-
zation, has none more powerful than
the social feature, with its educating, re-
fning and entertaining influences, and this
power, as well as every other proper means
for the advancement of the order and the
cause of temperance and morality, is WELD
ed by Friendship Lodge in manner to re-
fleet credit upon itself. The business ses-
sion on last evening was devoted to the dis
position of large amount of routine and
important business, at the conclusion of
which addresses were made by Mr.. Kali
strom, G. w. G. T.. Messrs. F. G. Cate and
Holden, of George w. Salter Lodge, and
Mr.. Sarell, of Colorado. On next Monday

Messrs. Hunton and Chandler, as attor-
neys for Mr.. Jno. M. Rogers, to-day filed a
bill in equity against Major VIM. McE.
Dye, Chief Of Police, praying for an injunc-
tioD. The bill sets forth that Mr. Rogers
was lessee of premises 607 Seventh street
northwest, until May %, 1888, where he
carried on a lawful business. On the date
above given the defendant ordered certain
police officers to take possession of the
premises, and all of the property
therein, which was large iron
safe, containing money and other
articles of value belonging to
Mr.. Rogers, and to exclude him by force if
necessary which was done. Subsequently
Mr. Rogers regained possession, but was
again elected by the police, who now hold
possession of his Office, while he is paying
a rent of $50 per month for the use Of the
same. Mr.. Rogers asks that the Chief of
Police be restrained from further interfer-
ence with him and his business, and that
he be restored possession of his premises.
