At meeting Friday of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, of this city,
held in its usual place of meeting, the fol-
lowing resolution was unanimously
adopted and ordered published:
Resolved, That. as body of workers aiming at
reformation and the alienation of suffering
caused by wrong doing, we do protest against
the liberation of pastimes INDUCED in by per-
sons, which deprive men OF life.
We also condemn unseemly and brutal,
unworthy of good citizenship, exhibitions OF
infantile pugilism as particularly corrupting
and degrading to. youth, and will unqualihedly
censure all who should hold the good govern
ment oil our fair city sacred If such misdemean-
or az happened in the Peoples theater last week
is unpublished.
And we hereby call upon all good and true
men to protect us from such narrowing recitals
such home COMMUNICATIONS, as the past few DAYS
have given us, by the better enforcement of law,
the formulating of better laws, or otherwise to
relieve us from the odium and danger of living
in city where vice, blood and lawlessness are
triumphant, while virtue, decency and right are
helpless by the walls.

California Rejoicing Over Rain.

SAN Francisco. Feb. A.-Rain began
falling yesterday in the upper part of the
state, and reached this city this morning.
At noon the report showed that the rain
clouds were moving steadily south. The
prediction of the signal service at this
time was that the storm would continue
until Monday in this region, and would
extend over the entire state as far south as
San Diego. Through the San Joaquin val
ley the winds were southerly, and the
weather was generally threatening, much
to the delight of all the horticulturists and
wheat farmers, for whom rains at this
time are worth much.

MR.. HANNEGAN.

Judge Goode objected on the ground that this
was wandering into too wide domain, but if
it WAS entered the defense would not shirk the
issue. II would not be fair TO allow Comman-
der Evans to explain the arrangement between
himself and the prisoner without allowing the
defense to bring in their witnesses to give their
side OF the quarrel between the two. It was
sufficient for the jury to know that witness
relations toward the prisoner were unfriendly
without being called upon to investigate pri-
vate quarrel between witness for the COM
monwealth and the prisoner at the bar.
Judge Gunter decided that the matter could
throw no light upon the guilt or innocence of
the prisoner and the question was overruled.
Commander Evans said that his feelings
toward the prisoner had not affected his testi-
mony in the slightest and II it could have done
30 would have colored his story in favor Of the
defendant and not against him.
This closed the examination Of Commander
Evans. 1t had lasted for about two hours.
DIR. PEEK DESCRIBES THE WOUNDS
DIR. Peek, who conducted the post mortem
examination, testified to the nature of the
wounds on the body. One ball struck the
right arm at the elbow. The arm must have been
hanging down to have received such a wound
The other ball entered the breast and pene-
trated the side of the heart This was the
wound that caused death. A man with such a
wound might have lived three or four minutes
On cross-examination DIR. Peek said that the
wound in the elbow could not have been inflicted

shore. There was no appreciable time be-
tween the two shots and when he looked
around he saw no oar, but IL there had been an
oar on the port side and trailing in the water
he could not have seen il il it had been there
standing in the position he did.
Lincoln Smith was looking in the
direction Of the boat and before
the shots were Smith called his attention to the
canoe. twice telling him that there was a
scrap" in the boat and for him to look around,
but he was busy with the line at the time and
did not look until after the shooting.
Witness heard the man who was shot call
out: "Oh, oh, bring a small boat, am shot. ("
He dip not hear the wounded man shout:
Help. help, this man has shot me-" He was
nearer the canoe than any one on shore
could have been, and il the
wounded man had made any outcry
he would have heard him There was strong
eob tide setting around the jetty, which would
have carried the boat out without assistance.
The tide was SO strong that it would have been
almost impossible for one man to stem it with
simply sculling paddle

had been used to freight from Washington

HOURS OF LABOR,
Important Action Taken by the British
Trades Cnionists.

Important Action Taken by the Britisl,
Trades Unionists.
NEWCASTLE, Sept. 9.-The trades union con.
gress resumed its deliberations today. The
proceedings up to the present have disclosed
that among the new trades unions and newer
members of the old trades unions there
is predominance of feeling which shows
that they are deeply imbued with So
Burns and other leaders are opposed
to the old unionists led by Mr.. Thomas Burt,
NJ. F., president of the present congress, and
by Mr.. Chas. Fenwick, member Of parliament
for the Wansbeck division of Northumberland,
who, like Mr.. Burt, is the son of working
collier and has worked in coal mines himself,
and other members of parliament who are
leaders of the labor forces.
The first test of the strength Of these two
parties was in the vote taken yesterday upon
the question of an international eight-hour
law, although this vote. taken on the system Of
unions represented at the congress should
before they were allowed to vote,
proposition strongly opposed by the London
trades unions gave the new union men a deci-
sive victory. And it should be added il there
had been a show of hands their majority would
have been greater. The new men thereupon
declared that all subsequent voting should be
by show of hands.
The delegates representing the northern
miners trade unions led the opposition to the
proposition to place the congress on record as
being in favor of an international eight-hour
law. They contended that universal law fix
ing uniform hours Of work would seriously
lnjure the workmen outside of certain favored
districts. Delegate Knight, representing
boiler makers union, declared that he could
see In foreign governments interference in
labor problems the reason why it is proposed
to ask the British government to regulate the
hours of labor in Great Britain. This. accord
ing to the speaker, wac to go back q hundred
years.
At the resumption of business today, by q
vote of 242 to l56, a motion to the effect that a
bill reducing or fixing the hours Of labor ought
to be Of o permissive or optional character was
carried after considerable discussion.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
ALExASDRIA, Sept. AT 10;40 this morning
the whistles OF Portner's brewery blew alarm,
the iiro bells joined their clangor, and with
the exclamation "Portner's brewery is on
fret half Alexandria poured out Washing
ton, st. Asaph and Pitt streets toward
the scene of the conflagration; for black
smoke assembled above the roof of Portner's
bottling house, the east side of 1T. Asaph
street, opposite the main brewery building,
and the flames curled over the roofs Of the
bottling sheds 1t was soon learned
that about 10 o'clock n resin kettle
had overturned and caught fire in
shed mt the extreme east end of the
tablishment. and the flames SO kindled had be-
gun to spread in spite of the hydrant stream
poured on 1t. by III clock the bottling house,
a frame structure. was in flames and threatened
everything around it which was not frcproof.
fortunately most OF the brewery buildings were
OF BRICK with iron roofs, but there were a num-
Der of small frame houses in the neighborhoOd.
BY this time the two steam fire engines from
the city were deluging the fire, and the
stationary fire engine of the brewery, with
hose crossing ST. Asaph street from the third
story window, added its contribution to the
flood. In five minutes the fire began to yield,
III ten minutes its progress was stayed. and
although the bottling house and its minor
sheds fell prey to the flames the principal
buildings of the brewery were left untouched,
and when the bells rang for noon the fire had
been substantially extinguished. the smoke
from many still undrowned embers rising to
mark where the blaze had been.
Tho tiremen had an especially hard fight to
save long shed which extended some hundred
feet along the east edge of the establishment
and was stored with hundreds of thousands of
bottles bearing the familiar mark OF the brew
ers. The shed was of wood but its roof was iron
and the extension of the flames under the roof
at one time made part of it a red-hot iron roof;
but the firemen fought the flames underneath
and prevented their advance that nearly all
ot the immense mass of bottles were saved and
the fire was prerented from invading hollow
built up with light cabins inhabited by colored
people.
Inc loss may be roughly estimated at be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. Wise d Co. of this
city have $500 insurance on the burned por-
ton in the Georgia Home Company. There
are similar assurances through Washington
agents. so that the loss is entirely covered by
the insurance.
Warfeld Il Co. have 100000 on the main
building. &C., west Of st. Asaph street, but none
upon the buildings east of the street.
The afternoon was well advanced before the
hremen left the scene OF the fire.

June IL in clear and concise manner. His house
is situated on the beach between the fort and the
residence of Commander Evans, and in full
view Of the spot where tho shooting occurred.
In answer to questions from Common wealth 8
Attorney Montague Mr.. Bird said he was q
resident Of the post. and was standing on his
porch between $50 and o'clock on the even
ing OF June IL. He noticed the storm arising
and saw off the jetty canoe with two men in
1t. One WAS scuiling and one rowing.
Witness looked toward the storm cloud that
was approaching, and as he did SO he heard o
pistol shot and looking toward the canoe he
saw puff of smoke. He Immediately
head second shot and saw second puff
OF smoke. The shots were in quick succession;
the man in the middle of the boat appeared to
be rowing, but witness did not see the oar
nor could he tell what was the attitude of the
man in the stern. The man in the middle
OF the boat fell back, but later raised himself
above the side Of the boat and shouted, though
his words were not distinguishable where Col
Bird stood. The latter said he did not
recognize either man in the boat nor did
he know who they were until later. His atten-
ton was riveted upon the man who had fallen
into the boat and he did not notice the other
man particularly. Witness went into his
house and was sitting at the win
dow little while later when he no
ticed young Hams walking past in
front of his house toward the hotel. He was
going at an ordinary pace and did not seem to
be disturbed nor excited in any way. Hams
knew witness and also where he lived, but did
not stop to say anything about the shooting.
WHERE THE CANOE WAS.
On cross-examination by Mr.. Shillington Col
Bird said that the canoe was from $50 to 200
feet from the shore and in the neighborhood of
SEQ feet from the porch on which he
was standing. He did not know what
happened in the boat for about minute before
the first shot was fired, for he was looking at
the storm cloud at the time. 1t may not have
been minute; certainly not more and
probably good deal less. The
man In the stern was standing but Col Bird
