DISTRICT ASSEMBLY THREE.

Evans Resolution Was Lost.

Mr.. Ross Explains Why the HfcGaw and
Evans Resolution Was Lost.
1t. transpired yesterday that at the meet
ing of d. A. 8, K. of L., on Wednesday,
the following preamble and resolution we're
brought up for considerations:
press and otherwise that l. A. 800, K. Of L., at
the late convention instructed its delegates to
vote for the expulsion of j. L. Evans and
Homer McGaw from the order because of their
alleged antagonism to the officials of 1. A. 800;
therefore. be it
Resolved, That the delegate from d. A. to
the General Assembly be instructed that If
charges are preferred against the aboye-men-
toned brothers he shall insist on a full, fair
and impartial trial, with the right to examine
charges at least three weeks before the trial,
the right to employ counsel, and all other
rights common to an American citizen.
The resolution was defeated.
Master Workman Ross yesterday said that
he had disapproyed of the passing of the
resolution because it would have taken the
appearance of siding with the Central
Trades Council in their fight with L. A. 300,
which is composed ofwindow glass workers,
of whose association james Campbell is
president. Should the charges brought
against Messrs. Homer L. McGaw and Jo-
seph L. Evans, said the Master Workman,
be laid before the General Assembly, he
would see to it that they got fair and i'm
partial trial and their cases fully heard.
Mr.. Joseph Evans was seen and said that
if any charges were brought against him at
Atlanta he would be there TO meet them,
not otherwise.

VIII Strike for an Increase.
The thread cutters at A. M. Byers & Co. s
mill on South Sixth street went on strike
yesterday for 81 so per day. The men, to
the number of so, formally notified their
employers on Tuesday of their demand for
the increase of 15 cents per day, and they
say that, had not the firm discharged three
of their number who were supposed by them
to be leaders in the movement. they were
willing to consider the matter further. Mr..
Byers wanted them to return to work, say
ing that the matter would be fixed on Satur-
day, but the men refused.
1t was stated that the firm had agreed to
pay few of the strikers the wages de-
manded, but the men held that, since they
all did the same work, they should receive
like pay. The men are confident of receiy-
ing the increase. Yesterday few men
went to work in the strikers places, but
verv little work was turned out.
A good many of the men returned to
work last night. having been granted the
additional Is cents asked for. The firm
has not decided to allow the rest of the
strikers to resume at the same terms. Those
who went back were rather afraid to do so
until the firm had furnished them protec
ton. Hostile demonstrations were INDUCED
in, and those still out believe their demand
will be complied with.

GREATER DEPTH OF WATER ON THE BAR

Colonel James P. Andrews, the eminent
engineer of Allegheny City, was seen yes
terday by DISPATCH representative who
had an unreasonable appetite for an item
ungratifed by several hours of busy hust-
ling. The genial old engineer came to the
rescue with an important piece of informa-
tlon about the Eads jetties, with which he
was so long and so successfully connected.
Colonel Andrews said: ga corp of army
officers appointed by Secretary Proctor has
Just concluded the official inspection of the
Eads system of jetties pursuant to the act of
Congress which allowed Captain Eads to
construct his jetties in the South Pass of the
Mississippi river. The enabling act placed
all the risks upon Captain Eads, and ar
ranged the basis of payment so that even
when the deep water had been secured, the
Government was to retain
ONE MILLION DOLLARS
as a security for the perpetustion Of a navi-
gable stage of water. There was to be an
inspection of the system within ten years
from the date of completion, and a partial
pavment of the sum, the final inspection
and payment to take place in 20 years after
completion.
"fhe jetties were completed and formally
opened on October 6, 1879, in the midst of
great popular demonstration. The ten
years payment was therefore due on the 9th
of the current month. The formal inspec-
ton, however, was not completed until day
before YESTERDAY, and the official report is
probably BY this time in the hands of the
Saoratarv of the NAVY He will draw his
warrant for the sum payable under the pro-
visions of the act, and it will he paid to
representative of the Eads estate, who is
now in Washington.
''This latest Government survey must

CoNCLUSIvELY SETTLE
tie question which is even now raised by
carping critics and doubling Thomases as to
the permanency Of the jetties. have been
apprised by telegraph that the Government
surveyors found, after elaborate soundings
of the bar at the mouth of South Pass that
the average depth of wat=r was greater than
at the completion of the work. In several
places an increased depth of three to four
feet was found, but in the average the depth
has increased. I regret that Captain Eads
did not live long enough to enjoy this fresh
proof of his foresight and judgment. But
his widow will receive practical evidence
of the success of the ietties."
Colonel Andrews is very busy upon sew
eral mechanical ideas which are the result
of sights seen in Europe during his recent
trip. He has completely recovered from the
effects Of the severe attack of pleuro-pneu.
monia which he contracted on his trip from
Denver to st. Louis.

About the Stowe Township Petroleum Ex.
citemeut Yesterday.

citement Yesterday.
The road from Charters to the Arbuckle
oil we'll was lined yesterday with pilgrims
on foot, on horseback and in buggies, dog
carts and all kinds of vehicles. A large
number of perspiring Muldoons who would
have paid handsomly for transportation
were forced to hoof it as the livery capacity
of CHARTERS was exhausted. Some of the
visitors owned land in Stowe and Robinson
townships and others wanted to get leases,
while others simply went out of curiosity.
There were all sorts of stories, as to the
Wells production, ranging from 800 to
1,080 barrels day.
A party of lessees negotiated with man
who owns land near the head of Neville Is
land, giving him dollar to bind verbal
bargain. He was told to come to the city
to sign the papers. When he got here he was
informed the deal was off, as it had been
ascertained that he was not in the line.
After deducting car fare the would-be lessor
found that his time had been paid for at a
very low rate. The next party that makes
an engagement of this kind with him, will
have to pay more than dollar to bind the
bargain,

FIRE NEAR FIFTH AVENUE.
A TwO-Story Stable Communicable Cars
Seriously Returded.


Seriously Retarded.
About o'clock last evening fire was dis
covered in the two-story stable of n. Ober-
nauer on Our alley, near Vine street. This
stable has been burned twice formerly with
in two years. 1t was the property of II.
Forest, and had been rented bv Obernauer,
the wholesale liquor dealer, only since Oc-
tober 1.
The origin of the fire is unknown, al
though it is probable that some man dropped
cigar or spark from pipe. Two or three
men kept their horses in the lower part, and
had put them away a short time before the
fire broke out. Officer Rosenblatt saw the
flames and sounded an alarm. When the
engines arrived the entire upper part was
ablaze. Three wagons and six horses kept
on the lower floor were saved from the
flames. On the second floor, which opens
upon a yard leading to Colwell street, there
were four horses, five sets of harness, buggy
and a load of hay, all belonging to Ober-
nauer which were burned. The property
was insured for little over half the value,
but there was no insurance on the building.
The fire was put out before the framework
was consumed.
As patrol wagon No. 2, from the Eleventh
ward station, was driving to the fire Officer
S. Hanley tried to jump on the rear end at
the corner of Fifth avenue and Pride
street. His grip slipped and he fell back
ward. His foot caught between the brass
rail and the step, and he was dragged, on
his back, along the stone pavement as far
as the corner of Marion street. There he
was seen by one of the men on the wagon
and was released. He could barely stand
His shoes were bursted, his clothing torn
and he was severely bruised on his back and
limbs. He was able, after awhile, to walk
to his home on Second avenue.
The hose lines across Fifth avenue stopped
the cable cars ior over an hour, and when
the theaJers and Exposition were out the
streets down town were crowded with people
waiting ior cars, which had not yet got back
to regular schedule. Captain Silvis and sew
eral policemen found it necessary to keep
the people in order at the crossings when a
car arrived.
