THE 7,EMPERANCE QUESTION.

Next month Pennsylvania votes on the
question of a prohibitory amendment to It's
constitution. This will make the eighth
State that within six months has passed up
on the subject. Seven States have voted
prohibition down, and from all reports it
will be voted down in Pennsylvania. Yet
this is no indication that the temperance
movement has at all lost force or character,
passed on the question propose to give them
selves to an unbridled appetite for liquor.
Real and thorough temperance in man or
woman is as much their desire now as it has
ever been, and there is no sane person any
where but who wishes to restrain and curb
intemperance.
No person can look back on the past
quarter of century without seeing how
much the temperance cause has gained in
his time. There are thousands of families
who years ago kept liquor in their houses
and used it daily who have abandoned the
custom altogether. In those past times Ii
quor of some kind was considered almost
necessity in social life. In these days 1t is
an exceptional thing for either wine or malt
liquors TO be offered to friends or guests, ex
cept in very fashionable life or unde3 very
peculiar circumstances. All this is due to
the educational and moral influence of the
temperance agitation. In all these respects
that agitation has been good and good only.
The men and women who hase been en-
gagged in the promotion of Temperance sen.
timent and who have made personal sacri-
fees on that account, deserve well of their
fellows They are true philapthropists
There is no subject TO which the maxim,
"make haste slowly" more pontedly ap.
plies than to the subject of temperance
Desirable as it is to wipe out intemperance
by a sweeping edict, every person knows
that such thing is an impossibiity. Men
cannot be made either virtuous or temper
ate by legislative enactment. Where total
prohibition cannot succeed, high license and
local option have much restraining force
These are the true effective weapons of the
temperance people, and they will find their
account in promoting the lesser methods
There may come Il time in the course of a
century or so when these will lead to total
prohibition.

A BUILDING COLLAPsEs.
Several Men Buried In the Ruins-Two
Known to be Killed.

CHICAGO, Aug. IA building at the corner
Of Clinton and Van Buren, streets collapsed this
morning, and several men were buried in the
ruins. II is rumored that two and possibly
three men were killed. 1t is not known how
many were injured. The work Of clearing out
the debris has commenced, and until IL is COM
pleted the facts concerning the loss Of life and
the numbered injured cannot be learned.

killed. Nick Sever, 14S Cornell street, dying.
The structure that fell was the old Burton
building which was Quilted by fire several weeks
ago.
But one man was killed and one serio usly in
iured by the falling wall at Van Buren, and
Clinton streets this morning. Jos. Papp, a
laborer, was on the sidewalk when the accident
occurred and was instantly killed by the mass
of brick, which fell about go feet His remains
are terribly mut;ated.
Nicholas Stever was EMPLOYED as a driver
for the West Side brewing company and was
driving up Van Buren, street when the wall
fell. The wagon was totally wrecked, one of
the horses killed and Stever badly injured, his
hip being crushed and his back hurt. besides
being bruised about the head and shoulders
A party OF brick masons at work on the fourth
floor had a narrow escape. At the same time q
section of the wall fell into the street another
section fell into the building where
the men were at work. In some way the
timbers fell with the wall, formed a bridge
and saved them from what must have proven
certain death. Three masons were covered by
the debris, but were gotten out and found to
be not seriously hurt The cause Of the acct
dent Ia not known. The structure had been
examined, pronounced safe and suitable for re.
building. An investigation will be made.

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT,
SEWERAGE IN ANACosTrA.


A petition bearing the names of the residents
and property owners on Jefferson, Taylor and
Adams streets, AnacOstia, was presented to the
Commissioners recently requesting that sewer
be laid in Anacostia from near the corner OF
Jefferson and Taylor streets to the corner of
Adams and Jackson streets. This sewer was
estimated for last year. In his report upon
the subject Captain Lusk says that the amount
available for suburban sewers will make possi-
Bile the construction of only one-half much
of the sewer on Adams and Jackson streets as
was estimated for last year. He recommends
that the upper section be constructed first in
order to protect the surface work recently done
on Adams and Jefferson streets.
RESIGNATION ACCEPTED.
The Commissioners have. accepted the fesig-
nation OF M. j. Foley, superintendent of alley
cleaning. This is the place to which ex-Lieut.
Arnold is shortly to be appointed.
THE SEWER PIPE QUESTION.
The Commissioners today submitted the
question of purchasing the sewer pipe over
which there has been SO much controversy to the
controller with the question whether they
could legally buy the sewer pipe in open
market.
THE TAX WILL NOT BE CANCELLED
Messrs. Edwards Il Band, as attorneys for
Weller Repetti, recently requested the can
collation. of an alley paving tax, for the reason
tifcate, on the faith of which Messrs. Weller
and Repetti bought lot. While the work was
done March 80, 1887, the assessment was only
completed September ID, 1883, and hence did
not appear on the certificate, which was dated
September 1, 1887. The district attorney gave
opinion that the work had not reached the
stage of tax until assessed, and therefore
there is no tax to be omitted. The Commits
sioners have decided to take no action in the
matter,

Lively Times at the Petersburg Conven.

Special Dispatch to TEE EVENING srAH.

Special Dispatch to TEE EVENING STAR
PETERSBURG, Va, Aug. 14.-That the politi-
cal discussions existing in the republican party
have not been healed by the conference re-
Gently held in Washington with the national
committee is evidenced by the stormy and dis
graceful scenes witnessed at the republican pri-
mary meetings held last night, which were at
tended by Mahonites and anti -Mahonites. These
meetings were held for the purpose of elect
ing delegates to q city convention to elect
delegates to the republican state convention to
be held in Norfolk on the 22d instant There
were disturbances at all Of these meetings,
with one or two exceptions, and but for the
timely presence Of the police there
WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUS RESULTS.
In the fifth ward a colored man was struck on
the head with q brick and quite painfully in
jured. Both factions got out delegates to the
city convention, which met today at noon at
the court house. The delegation Of the
Mahonite, got possession Of the court
room, where the convention was held and two
officers were placed at the door with instruc-
tions to allow no one to enter except the
Mahonite delegation, excluding even members
of the press The anti-Mohanite delegates ap-
piled for admittance to the convention, but
were refused and they became very indignant.
THE CONVENTION WAS ORGANIZED
by the election Of DR.. D. May chairman and
W. W. Evans, editor Of the Virginia Lancet,
secretary. After the Convention had been
organized Q committee on credentials was APP
pointed, before whom the anti-Mahone dele
CATION were invited to appear and state
orally their rights to seats in the Convention.
The invitation was accepted by few Of the
contesting delegates, the others refusing to
appear before the committee. Those who APP
peared before the committee were refused ad-
mittance to the convention. The convention
elected six white and six colored delegates to
the state convention. Gen. William Malone
and Gen. Stith Boiling are two of the delegates
elected. The anti-Mahone delegates will pro-
badly hold convention of their own and elect
delegates TO the state convention.

IT-sARAH ALrHEA HILL THE CAUSE AND SIZE
WITNESSES THE SHOOTING.
LATHnor, CAL, Aug. A-Upon the arrival
Of the southern overland train here at 7.2d
O'Clock this morning United States Supreme
Judge Stephen J. Field and Deputy United
States Marshal David Maggie walked into
the depot dining room for breakfas,
and sat down side by side. Soon after Judge
David 8. Terry and wife (formerly Sarah
Althea HID came in. They were proceeding
to another table when Mrs. Terry, evidently
recognizing Justice Field, did not sit down, but
retired TO the train for some unknown purpose.
Before she reached it, however, and a. soon
as she had left the dining room, Judge Terry
approached Justice Field and STOPPING over him
slapped his face. At this juncture Deputy Mar
shall Maggie arose from his seat and shot Judge
Terry through the heart As he was falling
the deputy marshal fred again, but missed him,
the bullet going through the floor. Both shots
were fred in very quick succession.
after being shot He had hardly fallen when
Mrs. Terry rushed TO the side Of his body
and threw herself upon him. Then ensued q
scene of the widest excitement. People
rushed from the dining room and others rushed
in. During this time Justice Field and Deputy
Marshal Maggie retreated to sleeping car where
they were securely locked within. At times
Mrs. Terry would call upon the citizens to ar
rest them. Before the train pulled out Con-
stable Walker entered the sleeper and was
carried away on board the train. He informed
the crowd that he knew his duty and would
perform it. During the time the train was stand
ing at the depot Mrs. Terry was running wildly,
alternately from the body Of her husband to
the sleeper. demanding admittance that she
might slap Justice Fields face, and at
the same begging that they be detained
and have their examination here. Previous
to the entrance Of Constable Walker into the
sleeper Sheriff Purvis and deputy of Stain
slaus county had already taken charge of
Deputy United States Marshal Maggie.
