CENTRAL LABOR UNION.
The Last Regular Meeting Under the Oh
System.

The Last Regular Meeting Under the Old
System,
NEW YORK, Aug. S--The last regular
meeting OF the Central Labor union under
its existing system was held this after
noon at Clarendon hall, and was very
lively. The principal change in the system
to go into effect by next Sunday Will be
the division Of the union into trade sec
lions. It is believed that this will greatly
facilitate the transaction of business.
The personnel OF the organization will
remain rs II Is. The sections will
conduct the routine matters and the
general body will take up only
business Of importance. An unusually
large number of delegates were present
to-day. The chief question to-day was
that of the differences between the
Knights Of Labor and the Progressive
Cigar makers union and the position that
the Central union should take regarding
them. A week ago the latter iody passed
a resolution expressing sympathy WIN the
Progressives. IL was the intention OF the
Knights OF Labor in BODY to
change the record to-day. The Unionissi
began the battle, however. The German
tresco painters handed In communica-
ton advising that the Central union should
render assistance, moral and financial, TO
the cigar makers. There was an
excited discussion and the com
mupication was finally laid upon
the table by vote Of 1873 to 1913, This Is
said TO have been one OF the largest bal
lois ever taken In the union. The Knights
became very enthusiastic and cheered like
Wild men. The motion to reconsider the
resolution OF sympathy was lost foT
want OF & two-thirds vote. During Its
discussion the members worked them
selves to nearly white beat. Several OF
them, representing opposing factions,
came to blows, and It looked at one time
as though general riot would occur

UNEXPECTED FORTUNES.
The WindfaIl of Four Brothers fl
 Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, January 7.-Dennis Nc Gowan, the proprietor of restaurant at Fifteenth and Sansom streets in this city, and his three brothers George, John, and Charles, all residents of Philadelphia, have just received the news from Australia that by the death of their brother Patrick in New South Wales they have become the heir to a fortune running up into the millions.
 Patrick left his home in Ireland over forty years ago and came to this country accom- panied by his sister and her hus- band They remained here only 8 short time, however, and then re moved to Australia, where Patrick went into the business of sheep raising, and in few years accumulated a good deal of money. Fortune still smiled, and the discovery of gold on his property added to his wealth. His sister and her husband were also successful, and the McGowans rose to high place among the landed proprie- tors of New South Wales. Meanwhile Den his McGowan had come to America and was doing good business, having opened small eating house in the south srn part of this city. From this beginning his establishment grew until he is now the D: oprie tor of one of the best paying restau rants in Philadelphia, with wide reputation for the character of it's terrapin. He is the owner of the horse Americus, which won a number of races last summer at Brighton Beach and Sheepshead Bay. The other brothers have been less successful and to them the fortune will be even more welcome than to Dennis.

The first annual concert and ball of Quin- nipiac Hose Go. No. 1 took place last night at Quinnipiac rink, Fair Haven, and was a very gratifying success. There was & good attendance, including Chief Hyatt of Meri- den and delegation from Ever Ready Hook and Ladder Co. of Meriden. The music was by Thomas orchestra, the prompting by Rogers. The affair reflected much credit on the Quinnipiacs.

HURT IN A LODGE HOOK.
An Emblem Falls And Enjures One
 the Brotherhood.

An Emblem Falls And Injures One Of the Brotherhood.
 In the blue room of the Masonic Temple are two gilded columns about fifteen feet in height, on the top of which are two globes. The columns are about one foot in diameter and, although made of light wood, are yet quite heavy. They stand unsupported on either side of one of the inner doors and will not admit of much pressure without top bling over. Last evening after lodge ad- journment when the members were passing to the banquet room the crowd pressed so heavily against one of these columns that it toppled and fell to the floor. There was a cry ''get out of the way" and all succeeded in so doing but John H. Bagshaw, mem Der of Wooster lodge, who was struck a glancing blow on the side of the head by the falling column and knocked senseless to the floor He was picked up and carried to the anteroom and Dr. J. W aldo Jewett, who was present, administered restoratives which soon restored the injured brother to con- sciousness. A slight scalp wound the only injury, except the shock to the system which was considerable owing to Mr. Bag shaw not enjoying good health. After he had sufficiently recovered, carriage was procured and MT. Bagshaw was taken to his house, No. 61 Hallock street. It is fortunate that the column did not strike him square on the head, for if it had done so the results must necessarily have been much more serious.

Gilmore's band played the promenade music and Bernsteins orchestra was installed on the dancing floor. The Bijou and Fourteenth street orchestras alternated in the reception and supper salons. Many prominent people from this and other cities were present and the dancing floor was crowded with professional men, actors, brokers, club men, artists, soldiers and journalists. The festivities were prolonged until a late hour. The affair was in all re- spects brilliant success.

pains to neutralize the composition Of the Committee on Coinage, Weights
 and Measures" he said to a United Press reporter this evening" tThe committee as it is composed is intended to be non-acting committee; that is, it will do nothing in itself to either suspend silver coinage or continue it. However, it does not matter how committee. is composed. The House is determined to do something on the silver question. It has been agitated too much by the people throughout the country and is too great subject to be overlooked at this time. A large majority of the House is in favor of silver coinage and silver certif- cates and committee could not bs composed which would impede the progress of this is sue or stife legislation. The attitude of the administration can have DO force in the House and if the committee was formed for the purpose of covering up the tracks of the administration work, if any work was done by it; in the selection of members of the committees, it has been successful in at least one respect, that of conferring no positive ch 11Doo if

SILVER COTTAGE IN EUROPE. England, France and Germany
 RaRUed in Onnnafffan.

WASHINGTON, Jan 7-The President to- day sent to the Senate the correspondence of the State department with Ministers Pendle ton, Phelps and McLane and MT. Walker, consul general at Paris, regarding the atti- tude of England, France and Germany on the silver question. Minister Phelps says England infexibly adheres to the gold stan- dard and will enter into no international agreement for the creation of bimetallic standard Minister Mclean finds that France Would not permit even the restricted coinage of silver in her hints. There is a large amount of foreign silver circulating in France on which that country would lose 600, 900, 900 francs if the countries coining silver should refuse to redeem it in gold. A French five franc piece to-day is intrinsically worth only four francs. Minister Pendleton finds Germany's attitude toward silver much the same. Consul General Walker says the prevailing sentiment of Germany is unfnis= takably in favor of the restoration of silver to full monetary franchises.

To Say About Some of The Newspa- per Reports About Htm And Other
 Thfngs-Beautfful New Year Gifts. The celebrated ugilist, John L. Sullivan, arrived in this city with the other members of the Lester & Allen fhinsfrels company from Bridgeport shortly after midnight yesterday, and as he left the train he was viewed by crowd of ebout twenty admiring yeung sports who followed him to the Con- verse House where his quarters were, and left only when he retired to his room. He did not rise until nearly noon, and except for short parade with the company during the afternoon, he kept to his room to avoid the gaze of the staring crowd of his admirers who hung around the hotel entrance to catch a glimpse of him, but he did not again leave his room until time to go to the New Haven Opera House where he was to show. He was seen after the entertainment and said: ''The statement in one of the papers that I was intoxicated Wednesday night in Bridgeport after the show was lie I did not drink anything, neither was I in the Atlantic House barroom during the evening. There is no truth either in the report in the New York papers that hit newsboy in the mouth with my cane in New York hotel the other day. I was with Muldoon all day and did not go out at all until evening, and although I might have been drinking good deal 1 was not drunk, and that whole story was d-d lie.
 ''I see one of the evening papers here has reported interview with me which I knew nothing about until I was told of it this eve ming, as have not talked with any newspa- per man to-day.
 'tI don't know that I shall fight again, but still I will fight any man in the world for money but not foI fun, and if Charley Mitch ell wants to fight me will do it anytime.
 "What am going to do when my contract with the company ends April 6! Well I am undecided yet, although I shall probably go abroad either in June or September, as have had some understanding with a New York theatrical man named Cannon about go- ing abroad; but may change my mind" MT. Sullivan started out the entran with Will liam Muldoon and Mir. Dempsey, and started up Chapel street for his hotel, followed by crowd ot about fifty youths close at his heels.
