workers was called to order by President
John Jarrett at 1870 this morning. Mr..

that victory would soon be won by the
strikers. After his address he introduced
p. J. Mcclure, of New York City, general
secretary of the Carpenters and Joiners'
association. Mcclure spoke at some
length. A reference to the strike of the
telegraphers elected rounds of applause.

was adopted by a ronsing viva voce vote:

luton three cheers were given for the tele-
graph operators and also for the strikers

All Souls, Church.

An adjourned meeting of the members of
All Souls church to consider an amendment
to the consti tuition prohibiting the use of
proxies at the election Of church officers was
held in the chapel last evening. Judge w.
A Richardson in the chair and w. j. Cauley,
secretary. The attendance was not large,
and it was evident by the few present that
the majority of the congregation felt no spe-
cial interest in the subject under considera-
tion, at leas to the extent Of attending the
meeting.
Mr. J. b. II. Tupper the mover of the
amendment, read carefully prepared paper
setting forth his objections to the proxy
system.
After few remarks by Justice Miller, Dr.
]. III. Baxter, III. b. Bennett, end others, the
roll was called on the adoption of the amend
ment. The opponents of the proposition con-
tented themselves with not voting instead of
making active opposition. The tellers an
nounced as the result Of the ballot 73l votes
had been east in the affirmative and that 204
votes were necessary to adopt the amendment,
whereupon the chair decided it lost. The
meeting then adjourned. The opponents of
the amendment after the adjournment ex-
pressed themselves in favor of limited
proxy, and at the next meeting Of the society
an amendment to the bylaws will probably
be adopted, limiting all proxies to q single
meeting.

Fisher, chief clerk of the pension office, and
Maj. Howell, assistant chief clerk, superin-
tendent and engineer Of the building John

in command of Lieut.. Arnold took charge of
the thoroughfare, placing ropes around the
building to preserve order and guard. against
accidents At a signal given by the chief
engineer twenty fremen started up the lad
ders, ninety-four feet high, and made the
ascent in forty seconds. At another signal
the attachment from three engines was made
with the standpipe and water thrown from the
roof Of the building distance of 250 feet
in twenty-five seconds. One thousand gai-
Ions of water per minute was thrown from
the standpipe under pressure of 400 pounds
to the square foot. Col. Webster, of the
Treasury department., has recognized the
merits of the combined standpipe and ladder
system so far as to have four of them erected
ON the treasury building.
