BALE OF THE puNB1.ANE Guns EFFECTS.
For some time the members of the Dumblans
Club have allowed their interest in the oreani-
sation to Gag, and Of late so little has beer
thought Of the pretty house and grounds on
the Tenleytown road that ct recent meeting il
was determined to sell OF the clubs effects and
for the present at least 10 put out Of existence
the popular organization. Yesterday was the
day assigned for the auctioneer to do the deed,
and at 1880 O'Clock, In the presence OF q large
crowd, the furniture and bric-a-brac were dis
posed Of. The Dumblane Club held lease on
"Grasslands," as their place was called, but
this was speedily purchased by the Country
Club at private sale. II is probable TINT when
the members, many Of whom are abroad and in
distant cities, can be brought together and in
terest revived reorganization will take place.
The Dumblane Club at one time had o member

to our agent about six months ago that the
drift Of things and the cause Of legislation was
toward such action Is that Of your board Of
commissioners.
Many other communications were read by
Mr.. Ralston amid the cheers Of the audience,
the speaker saying that he sometimes thought
that there was conspiracy to overwhelm him
with such correspondence. "And those are
the men" he exclaimed. "who are termed fools,
socialists and anarchists!".
HYArrsvulRs REPUTATION.
In this way Hyattsville had gained q reputa-
ton which would live for 100 years or more,
while the paltry improvements which might be
lost would soon have to be made over again.
Whatever he had done before he considered as
dross compared with this act Of his fellow
members and himself which had given Hyatts-
Vile name in history. He had been told that
the other side bad raised fund of $500 and
that the board would lose in the fight. But an
idea could not be defeated In that way. They
might succeed in putting it off for year or
two, but it would only be for q time. One Of
the opponents of the single tax idea had lately
said TO q well-known citizen of Hyattsville:
Doctor, we must stop this thing. If 1t gets q
footing we will never be able to stop it," That
was true. But 1t had already obtained q footing
and 1t would not be allowed to 60.
Mr.. Rslston concluded with q word to the
younger men of the town, asking them to intel
hyently and diligently study the single tax
idea and not to throw it aside because their
fathers had done 20.
COMMISSIONER BRIrr'DEFENDs HIS ACTION.
CommissionersBritt followed Mr.. Ralston in a
few words, saying that he had simply Obeyed
his own Judgment and that he had been inf1u-
enced by no one. The idea was not o new one
with him, for he reached the conclusion that 1t
was right six years ago. His action had been
criticised because he was not . taxpayer. He
bad, nevertheless, been duly elected, and he
would do his duty a. he conceived 1t. He would
never rescind his action, especially after the
late action of the opponents Of the scheme In
applying for writ Of mandamus.
COMMISSIONERS LONGS POSITION
Commissioner Long said that he could add
nothing to what had been said by his two asso-
ciates and that he would neither resign nor
rescind his action.
Mr.. RalstOn then invited any one to address
the meeting who felt so inclined, whether he
opposed or favored the single tax idea In
answer to the invitation Mr.. L. H. Campbell
said he opposed the scheme, for the reason that
he believed that all classes of property should
bear their proportionate part Of taxation. He
was willing to listen and learn, however. 1t
might be that he was in the wrong. If he was
he would probably get run over sooner or later
and have some sense knocked into him. Mr..
Dunning said one or two words in favor Of the
idea and the meeting then adjourned.

boy said that he had Is cents in his pocket yes

earn money enough to purchase pair of shoes.
Judge Harper said that Congress took some
action in regard to the produce dealers

done. In order that no injustice would be
done he released Bell on his own recognizance
until he could inquire about the law.
