WEARING THE BLUE RIBBON.
A Great Many Sign the Pledge in MIR. Mur-
phys Meetings.

phN = NcetinEs'
Despite the inclemency of the weather
another large crowd was present at Old
Market Hall last night to hear Mr.. Fran
els Murphy, the popular temperance
lecturer.
The meeting was opened with devo-
tional exercises and the reading of pas
sage Of Scripture. Rev. /. j. Spencer
led in prayer.
Mr.. Murphy then introduced Mr.
Spencer 20 the audience, and that gen
tleman spoke for several minutes. He
said that he hoped the young ladies
OF Richmond would all unite in ex-
cluding men who were not abstemious
from their society.
Mrs. Murphy and Mrs. Spencer then
sang "Where Is Ny Wandering Boy
Tonight ?" in very creditable manner.
In the course Of his remarks Mr.. Muir
phy, who spoke next, said that people
were always talking about closing the
saloons The trouble is that If they
were to do this there would be nothing
left to amuse the public, as barkeepers
always know how to entertain better than
any one else. Something would have to
be substituted in their place.
Rev. Mr.. Turnbull spoke next. He
said that for twenty years he had been a
member of the Church, but he had never
signed the pledge until last night. He
did so more to win the boys than for
anything else, SO he wanted to stand
shoulder to shoulder with them. Many
others also signed the pledge.
Mir. Murphy will speak at the Soldiers
Home to-day at O'Clock, and Captain
Frank Cunningham will sing.
The Executive Committee on the tenn
perance meetings held here will meet at
Z o'clock tomorrow night The follow
ing gentlemen have also been added to
it: Rev. Mr.. Turnbull, Rev. l. j. Spen-
Ger, Rev. z. L. Waldrop, and Messrs.
Robert Whittet and II. Q. Glenn.
Tuesday night formal reception will
be rendered Mr.. and Mrs. Murphy by
the Executive Committee.

PERMIT ORDINANCE AT LAST.
The Committee Succeeds in Holding n
Meeting After Many Trials.

The Committee Succeeds in Holding IA
Meeting After Many Trials.
The Committee on Ordinances met for
the first time in about two months in the
Council chamber last night at 745
o'clock. three fourths of an hour later
than the time designated in the call.
The two ordinances in regard to the
granting Of permits for frame buildings,
between which the committee was un-
able to decide last month and which
were referred back to them, were read.
The committee decided to recommend
the ordinance providing that permis-
sion must come from the Chairman
of the Committee on Fire, and
must first be recommended by ma
jority of the members of each branch of
the Council from the ward in which it is
proposed to erect the house. The ap-
plication must be advertised for three
consecutive days in the paper having the
city advertising. If an application IS
rejected by the Chairman of the Commit
tee on Fire or by a majority of each
branch OF the Council the Committee
on Fire shall decide the matter.
RESTRICTING PAwNBBoKERs.
The Chairman reed an opinion from
the City Attorney il regard to the Coun-
Gil passing an ordinance regulating the
business of pawnbrokers. 1t stated that
the Council had no authority to say
when the title of property should pass to
another person. Ordinances now in force
in Baltimore and New York were ex-
hiblted by the Chairman, in which the
pawnbroker is required to keep a card Of
rates posted in his shop, and also book
open 10 the inspection OF the public re-
cording the disposition of all property
passing through his hands.
it was decided TO refer all these pa
pers to the City Attorney and ask him to
appear before the committee in person
and let them know ii the City Council
did not have the right TO frame similar
ones for Richmond.
THE BAsHFUL MEN DISCUSSED.
Mr.. Crenshaw suggested that in future
il would be well for the committee 10
exclude the reporters from It's delibera-
tions 30 that reports would not be pub
lished before they reached the Council.
Mr.. Guison sided with him.
1t was decided, however, that as mat
ters of importance would leak out any
how, it would be better TO have correct
report.

Colonel Jones Says the First Regiment
VIII Attend the Worlds Fair.
The committee from the First regi-
ment to devise ways and means for an
encampment next summer and trip to
the Worlds Fair in 1892 was in session
at the Armory last night.
1t was ascertained that it will require
$1,000 to liquidate the expense of the
two undertakings. The committee has
hit upon a simple plan by which the
money can be raised in a cooperative
way, as it were, the details of which it
was thought best not TO publish as yet.
Colonel Jones stated to DISPATCH
man last night that the money would un-
doubtedly bo raised. Those who are ac-
quainted with this officer and gentleman
know that he never ventures an assertion
except when he knows whereof be is
speaking; so it may be put down as an
accepted fact that the First regiment of
Virginia volunteers will 90 into camp
next summer and visit the Columbian

NASHVILLE, TENN, December IA
Birmingham (Ala.) special says the
striking coal miners were yesterday
joined by nearly ali tho men who were
OF work Monday, and all the mines are
idle except where convicts are worked
and negro-miners have been secured.
At the Bloclton mines where 1900 men
were employed, the conservative element
tried to get all the men to return to work
yesterday, but failed, and those who
worked Monday went out. Eight thou.
sand miners are now idle and the indi.
cations are that the struggle will be q
long and bitter one. Nearly half the
furnaces in the district viii go out OF
blast this week, and the others viii fol
low as soon as the stock OF coke is ex'
hausted. The strikers are very quiet,
but the leaders say they have gone in tc
win. The mine operators remain firm
and united against the miners demands.
