THE LABOR PARTY.
THEIR CONVENTION TO MEET AT FL
LET'S HALL FRIDAY MIGHT.
How the Body Will bs Formed, and
What It 10 Authorized
to Do, &C., &c.

A convention composed Of delegates
from the counties and cities composing
the Third congressional district will be
held in this city Friday night to discuss
and determine upon the sdvisability Of
bringing out Reform candidate for
Congress.
Ellett's Hall, Fifth and Marshall
streets, has been selected IS the place
OF meeting, but it is quite evident that
this place will not accommodate the
number of delegates who will probably
be present. Each assembly Of Knights
Of Labor in the dis.lict---rather each
meeting after the assembly adjourps-
has the right to elect five delegates. The
only difference between the mode
Of electing delegates to this Convention
and the manner in which those to the
one which nominated Reform munich
pal ticket in the spring we're elected is
that in this one the colored assemblies
have equal representation, while in the
former they had no say in the matter.
II is not expected that all Of the as
semblies in the counies will send their
full quota Of delegates, but there will
be several hundred.
The Convention will first decide
what action shall be taken with refer
ence to the fall campaign-whether
Trey will nominate candidate
for Congress, endorse the one already
nominated by the Democrats (aon.
George d. WISE, or lie. each man vote
es be individually chooses, without
either rakirs nomination or endorsing
any one.
Should the Convention decide II to be
proper to rominate . candidate, it will
proceed TO do so at once, and not wait,
as has been suggested, for delegates to
be elected TO nominating convention
10 be held later.
The names CT District. Master Work
man William II. Mullen, Councilman
Conner, and Henry l.. Carter are promi-
nently mentioned in connection with
the nomination, should it be decided ad-
visab'e to make one.
A large number of the delegates to
the Convention are said to be in favor
Of endorsing Hon. George d. Wise.
These, it is stated, will withdraw from
TIE Convention if it is decided to make
a nomination.

BELLE ISLE STARTS UP.
Abeus sixty-nve Per Cent. or the
strtking Employ ess Ke-
sume work.


Operations in the nail-naking depart.
psrtment of the Old Dominion Iron
and Nail Works, on Belle Isle, were
resumed yesterday. About sixty-6ve
Of the cutting machines out OF one hun
dred were started. A number of the
employe mostly feeders, had obtained
employ ment elsewhere, but the majority
Of the latter who did not return to
work yesterday stayed out because
they had made demands Of the nailers
which had not been -ccsded to. The
custom ct other places, it Is etated, is
that the feeders receive one half Of
The amount paid for cutting the nails
snd the nailers the other half. On Belle
Isle for years past the practice tas been
to pay the feeders one cent more than
balf and the nailers one cent less. Those
of the former Who have not returned to
work now in an informal manner de-
mand that they shall receive three fifths
Of the whole price paid fer cutting. The
nailers spprehend no trouble about ad-
justipg the matter smicsbly, as the
majority Of the feeders have returned to
work and seem to be perfectly satisfied.
and expect to start about their full
forces this morning.
The pailers and feeders here have
been out since the middle of June,
when they refused to work for reduc-
tion Of 10 per cent, and it is to be
hoped that there will be no further
trouble, but that things will work
smoothly and harmoniouslY.

or po,erty are allie unfav ora
BILE to the development Of a
pure and perfect humanity" God
chose to have His Son, the per-
feet pattern of manhoOd-to be born Of
the wife Of carpenter, to receive his
first training in the hone of a mechanic,
to have his marhood developed in as.
sociation with the working people.
Tbas God declares that to be born and
reared amongst the middle class gives
best opportunities for the development
of the highest type Of manhood.
The next of the series will be preach
ed next Sunday night. The subject will
be Messiah the Mechanic"

AFTER THE CITY HALL COMMITTEE
Mr.. Bryan presented tbs following
Resolcsd (ths Board Of Aldermen
concurring), Tpat tho Council expresses
its emphatic disapproval Of the action
Of the Committee on Grounds and
Buildings in csncellipg the contract
with Messrs. Watkins, Costrell & Co.
for supplying pic1s, shovsls, &c..
for use in the excavation OF
the foundation Of the New City
Hail; and the Council hereby in
structs said committee to avoid, in Us
future conduct ofsaid work, any and all
similar action which will subject the
city TO suits for damages for the IN
friDgement Of the rights of private c'ti-
zens.
Mr.. Bryan spoke briefly in support
of his resolution. He was iu favor
of the Committee on Grounds and
Buildings buildingthe new City Hall aud
doing it at once, but be did think there
should be some check pat on the Com
mittee, and not allow them to take such
steps as will involve the city In law
suits.
Mr. Pizzini defended the astjon of
committee. He said that the City
Engineer had been informed that there
was q certain firm who had made a
proposal for furnishing these imple.
ments at prices lower than those
charged where the goods are
manufactured. He contended that
this firm, being acquainted with
all existing troubles, had taken
this action for no other purpose
than to delay the work. He said that
that there had been great change 10
Richmond in the last few months, and
If this firm had not become acquainted
with this fact they ought to have done
so.
Mr.. Pizzini moved that the resolu.
tion be indefinitely postponed, and his
motion was carried, only Messrs.

the negative.
