Decision Reached by the Joint Committee
Not Given Out.
The base ball joint conference committee met
II O'Clock yesterday afternoon in the Fifth
Avenue Hotel in New York. There were
present Messrs Spalding, Day and Byrne
for the National League and Messrs. Thurman,
Barnie and Won der Abe for the association.
The committee remained in session until Z
O'Clock. Then an adjournment took place for
lunch. The committee again met at o'clock,
and at the end of an hour Mr.. Spalding came
out and said they would agree upon a report
which be submitted to the National League
and American Association today, but that it's
contents would not be made public.
1t was reported on what seemed reliable au-
thority that the committee had made up its re-
port and that the association had been conceded
the right of placing clubs in Boston and Chi
cago. Nothing was said about the Athletic
franchise, but there was an understanding
among the members Of the committee that Il
was to 60 to the Wagners.
1t was also reported that the new national
agreement prepared by Mr.. Byrne had been
rejected and that the committee considered a
the Western Association. There were many
rumors in reference to the disposition of the
players Of the Players League.
Messrs. Wagner, Ward, Prince, johnson and
Goodwin of the Players League held a confer
ence last night at the st. James Hotel. These
gentlemen own the Cincinnati Club. 1t was
reported that they agreed to accept the Cincin-
natl franchise in the National League if it
could be secured, and that If such a settlement
was made AL Johnson would relinauish his
claim for GAG, 900, which he lost with the Cleve-
land Players League Club. ]. Earle Wagner
said: Il know nothing about the Cincinnati
franchise except that and the other stock
holders have turned our interests over to Al
johnson, and he has full power to do with the
club as he sees fit"

4otne 1o4toF OF Inc Evening star:
The STAR is entitled to the thanks Of every
citizen of Washington for the position it has
taken regarding public library. The isolated
departmental libraries can never supply the
real wants even Of those in the departments
and are necessarily duplicates Of each other
upon a small scale. The concentration OF the
amounts expended for these different collec-
tons would alone result in a library of some
magnitude. extending over q much greater

access to books which il is not possible TO in

citizens an earnest support of THE STAR in the
position IL has taken. with the view of the bene-
tits that will be conferred upon the youth of
the city from the presence Of q large free Ii

A MAYNARD SON.
A Young Man From Tennessee Who n,

A Young Man From Tennessee Who No
Longer Wants to Be . Sailor.
Less than one week ago John Powers Owens
wanted to enlist in Uncle Sans service as a
sailor, but he has changed his mind. Now be
would rather remain private citizen. John
Ia the alleged erring son Of Knoxville, Tenn,
Baptist minister and was arrested last week by
Detectives Horne and Mahon.
| Al published in Mondays STAR, he was
anxious toenter the navy and while the neces-
sary papers we're being obtained he was placed
on the receiving ship Dale. That was Friday,
and after supper he retired just as those who
were there awaiting orders did.
There was some scrubbing to do, and in
| order TO give him some idea Of what he might
| expect in the future he was sent with the
others to push Q brush. The young man did
not like this assignment, although he made no
| outward objections
Saturday morning when he appeared on deck
he had changed his costume and was wearing
| about his neck what looked more like a cuff
| than collar, although it was really Q collar.
WOULD NOT DO FOR SAILOR.
That was enough to satisfy those on the ship
that John would never make sailor, and later
in the day they learned of Johns change Of
| serted
As he had not been finally accepted he
| could not be arrested and taken back as de-
serter. Among the papers found on the young
mani person at the time Of his arrest was a
letter of introduction to q relative. John, 1t
appeared, had openend the letter to satisfy
| his own curiosity and, the contents Of it not
| pleasing him, he had introduced himself with
out the aid Of the letter.
Yesterday found John behind the bars in
| as rough a looking crowd of prisoners as is
| usually seen before the Police Court. He had
again been arrested and the officers charged
him with being vagrant.
IN THE POLICE COURT.
| When the case was called in the Police Court
in the afternoon charge Of larceny was also pre-
| ferred against the prisoner. The case, how
ever, developed into one of false pretenses, but,
as only a silk hat was involved, the prosecutor
would not file the penitentiary charge against
him.
Owens told the court that his father lived in
Texas, but he came here from Knoxville, Tenn,
where he lived with his uncle, who is in the
clothing business
He frankly admitted that he had been doing
| wrong for long time and had given his
parents considerable trouble. His trouble in
this city he contributed to a young man named
"Guy," whom he met on the train. He still
| says he is DESTROYS Of entering the navy.
Judge Miller committed him to the work
house and said he would be released when the
papers arrived and he was ready to enter the
navy.

Increased Compensation on the b. and O.
General Manager Odell and General Superin-
tendent Dickinson Of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company, says the Baltimore Sun to-
day. have reached q satisfactory agreement
with the committee representing the employees
of the trans-Ohio division Of the road on the
question of wages to be hereafter paid. The
committee and the executive officers have held
frequent conferences Of late, and q satisfactory
conclusion was only reached within the past day
or two. Under the agreement, signed by both
parties to the conference, passenger conductors
can make 500 q month on a 5.000-mile run,
while heretofore it took 5000 miles to reach
this sum. The same rule applies to the brake
men. who will average $50 on 5,00O-mile run.
Freight conductors, who have heretofore re-
ceived 81. IS for trip Of 100 miles now receive
81 80 for the same run, and freight brakemen
are increased from &1.75 to I1.95 for a similar
trip. All runs Of less than 100 miles to be con-
sidered as of that distance. On work and wreck
trains conductors will receive 80 and brakemen
% per day, twelve hours to constitute days
work, all overtime to be paid for at the rate Of
% cents for conductors and 10 cents for
brakemen. Conductors and brakemen attend
ing court as witnesses for the company will re-
ceive 50 and 81 per day, respectively. while
away from their runs. and 81 day for ex-
penses. The agreement reached is not quite up
to the demands asked by the committee, but it
is said that the further increase will be allowed
after January /, 1892.

THE BLAINE HOUSE FIRE.

me BLAINE nVSSk FIRE
Fire Marshal Drew has made his report Of the
manner the fire originated at the Blaine house
some days ago. He says that it is his opinion,
on the servants floor. and, burning to the

THE LIQUOR QUESTION.
At . meeting of the board yesterday the
liquor question was called up for consideration.
Commissioner Ross said he thought that the
board should adopt some regulations governing
hearings in liquor cases. 1t is a we'll
known fact that from the time the first ap-
plication for liquor license is acted upon
until the last case has been disposed of there is
q constant stream OF liquor men and their at
torneys calling upon the Commissioners and
urging reconsiderations and prompt action.
Col Robert said this morning that he
was in favor of the Commissioners going
on with the liquor question, but re-
fusing to hear applicants or their
attorneys until the whole question of licenses
had been disposed Of. His plan was to 60 right
to work with the issuance and rejection Of ap-
plications, not allowing the press to have any
until the matter had finally been disposed Of
and then furnish list for publication.
THE DRUMMERs WHO ARE BARRED.
Mr.. Henry E. Davis, the attorney for q num-
Der Of commercial drummers who are barred
by the statute Of limitations from recover
ing the tax paid the District illegally,
as held by late decision Of the Su-
preme Court, has written a letter to the
Commissioners requesting that he be given
hearing before they report on the bill to sus-
pend the operation in certain cases Of the
statute OF limitations which is now before them
for report. After the matter has been returned
from the attorney. to whom it has been re-
ferred for opinion, the Commissioners say they
will hear Mr.. Davis.
BUILDING PERMITS

CALLED TO THE WHITE HOUSE.
A False Alarm Of Fire Creates Some Excite
ment.

A False Alarm OF Fire Creates Some Excite
ment.
Four engines and thousand people gathered
In the immediate vicinity Of the White House
In q remarkably short space Of time after an
alarm Of fire from box 157 had rung out about
las O'Clock last night Everything was in
readiness at the mansion for the diplomatic re-
ception and the calling Of the engines, though
entirely accidental, caused q great deal Of e1-
element for few minutes. 1t took large
amount Of explanation on the part Of the
ushers and officers around the house to con-
vince the hremen and then the crowd that
there really was nothing the matter, and the
throng increased rapidly until the departure Of
the engines without having even pumped Q
gallon of water caused q sort Of disappointed
thrill throughout the eager assemblage and the
grounds gradually became deserted again but
for the coming and going Of Carriages bearing
the receiving party and the specially invited
guests to the mansion.
The cause of the alarm Is unknown, although
1t Is suspected that one Of the auxiliary boxes,
with which the house il furnished, became
somewhat disordered owing to the crossing Of
the fre-alarm wires with the new electric-light
wires at point that has not yet been discov-
cred. The box in the house rang loudly and
startled everybody. hurried search was
made all over the building and each Of the
auxiliaries examined, but all were intact. A
fireman was stationed in the house during the
reception for fear that the crossing of the
wires, if it really existed, might possibly lead
TO blaze later.

Fined for Having a Pistol.

Shreeves, young white man, drove into the
city from Badensburg last evening and called
at the house Of colored woman in Dingman
place. Both men had been drinking and when
they came out Of the house several women were
on the side walk.
Some boys had been driving about the streets
in their buggy, which so angered Tom that he
drew pistol, when the women laughed at him,
and threatened to shoot them.
Policeman Fenton, who was attracted to the
scene by the noise, arrested Tom and Allie, but
the former had made away with the pistol.
When the two Bladensburg residents were taken
to court this morning they were tried on the
charge Of disorderly conduct and Tom was also
charged with carrying concealed weapons. The
disorderly charge was dismissed and, although
Tom Henied that he had a pistol, he was fined
$50 Or ninety days on the farm.
