FANCIULLI AND sTERRETT.
Why the Lone Star March Is Delayed
In Publication.

why the Lone star March Is Delayeu
In Publication.
One of the sad features of the Holt will
case is the particularly embarrassing disap-
pointment which Prof. Fanciulli, the leader
of the Marine Band. is undergoing. Some
time ago he wrote a brilliant march dedi-
Gated to Col. Sterrett, which 1t Is his inten-
ton before long to have published in artist
lie form. For the title page Prof. Fanciulli
had set his heart on having large, almost
life-size, half-tone photograph of Col. Ster-
rett's Napoleonic physiognomy. The pro-
fessor has several times OF late seen the
colonel and besougbt him to go at once
and face the camera like brave and hand
some man. But for some reason the colonel
has not complied. For one thing, he has
been busy. Today Prof. Fanciuli again
saw Col Starrett and asked him to go at
once and be photographed. He said his
march was all ready to be published. Its
harmonies. nicely attuned, all lay dormant
awaiting the magical and mascottish envoy
of his face to introduce it to the world
My march is dead, dead, dead" said
Fanciulli, without your picture on 1t.
A look of agony overspread the face Of
Col Sterrett, and for a moment he hesi-
tated. His rare sense of diplomacy came to
his rescue, however, as he replied, most
kindly: my dear boy, I'd do 1t in a minute
If 1t wasn't for this last trouble that has
come upon me. You see ] can't afford to
have my face monkeying around on the
title page of a piece Of gay music just at
this time. Excuse me for season"

regular schedule rate Of speed and over
hauled her at Back river light house. dis

From this point on the Newport News
forged rapidly ahead of the Alabama, and
continued to increase her lead until the
mouth of the Potomac was reached, leav-
ing the Baltimore steamer about seven
miles to the rear on the straightaway run
of slxty-seven miles. No effort was made
by Capt. Geoghehar Of the Newport News

BENNING CITIZENS.
Several Matters Which Came Up for
DiscusSiOn.


Tie financial secretary was the only
officer absent when Vice President New
shaw called the Benning Citizens Associa-
ton to order last night, and after minutes
of last meeting were read and approved
the road committee. well as the COM
mittee on education and the railroad COM
mittee, reported progress.
The auditing committee was unable to
make a final report owing, as Mr.. Boland
said, to sickness or indisposition on the
part of the financial secretary.
MIR. N. Keyser said that Miss Farley,
who is a member Of the association, had
made complaint to him that her horse had
become frightened on several occasions
owing to carelcssness on the part of gun
ners in discharging firearms from the Ben
ming bridge, and also from the causeway
leading up to the bridge, and she wanted
the aid of the association in causing the
dangerous practice to be stopped. Officer
Boland said complaint had been made to
the police and the matter was being at
tended to, which was accepted as satisfac-
tory by the association.
The president of the association said he
had been requested to ask the cooperation
of the Benning Citizens Association, as
well al of the Northeast Washington Citi-
Zens' Association, in an endeavor to have
the Commissioners recommend the pur-
chase by Congress of Graceland cemetery
for public park. The cemetery is now
being rapidly depopulated of its dead, and
since Northeast Washington, and, in fact
this whole section of the city, is poorly
equipped with public breathing places, he
thought the two associations should work
together and indorse the project. On mo-
ton 1t was so ordered, and the Northeast
Washington Citizens Association is to be
notified that the Benning Association is
ready and willing to cooperate with it in
the reclamation of the Potomac flats, or of
any other work of a public nature for the
be left of this section.
Concluding arguments were then heard
on the subject of manual training in the
public Schools" but owing to the absence
of one member things were not nearly so
lively as they might have been. Mr.
France gave 1t as his opinion that it hurt
the men who work in the trades. Mr..
Thos. E. Clark said the system had several
good features, but that manual training as
now taught makes fool of the pupil He
thought Prof. Voorhees,, If present, would
gladly retract the language he used at the
last meeting. Mr.. Mewshaw said We
should work for equal and exact justice for
all. He said he thought the panacea for
many of the wrongs that seem to beset the
pathway of labor would be found in Gen.
Coxey's misunderstanding bond scheme
which ne heartily Endorsed. After some
other remarks on the subject he gave out
the monthly topic for discussion for Sep
tember-"The Abolition of Capital Punish
ment," and on motion the evening of Sep
TENDER "a was set aside for it's discussion,
after which the meeting adjourned.

The Grand President OF the Electrical
Workers Has Narrow Escape.

The Grand President OF the Electrical
Workers Has 81 Narrow Escape.
Electricians, not only in Washington,
but throughout the country, will be inter-
ested to learn the particulars of a remark
ably narrow escape from death had a few
days ago by Mr.. II. w. Sherman, the grand
president of the National Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers, whose biennial con-
vention, already stated in The Star,
meets In this city in November.
The Diet. lis of the accident are given in
a letter to the members of Local Union,
No. 26, Electrical Workers, Of this city,
and are as follows:
Mr.. Sherman, who has been in the; en-
ploy of the Rochester, N. Y, Gas and
Electric Company for the past fourteen
years, was at work untying some wires on
the roof of shed at the power house
about 1O:45 am. one day last week, when
in some way, which is unaccountable to
Mr.. Sherman, he received a full shock of
cd him unconscious, and to all appearances
dead, for nearly ten minutes.
Mr.. Sherman was seen to fall heavily to
the roof by Superintendent Redman of the
company and several of the employees, who
were waiting for Mr.. Sherman to complete
the job he had undertaken. Two of the
men Immediately climbed to the roof and
picked up the rigid form of the unfortu-
nate man ana passed II down to the
ground
The work of resuscitation was at once
begun In accordance with directions pre-
viously given by the company in case of
accidents of this Sort and which instruc-
tio.is are similar to those used in revivng
a person who has been drowning.
At the expiration of six minutes Mr..
Sherman began to show signs of life, and
shortly after spoke, gradually reviving,
until he was able to be taken to his home
Mr.. Sherman is suffering with a severely
burned arm, which is the only apparent re-
suit of the accident. In speaking of the
affair, Mr.. Sherman said he was sure there
was no bare wire at the place where he
received the shock, and he is very positive
that in soma unaccountable way his body
made a bridge and short-circuited the wires
through the insulation.
Mr.. Sherman is now rapidly recovering
and expects to be in Washington at the
convention and to preside over it's delibera-
tons until his successor shall be elected.

THE OWNER OF THE RING.
O. CaseonOve Henderson Lost the
Jewel Found Bull Runs Field.

There was an account in yesterdays Star
of the finding of a ring in the Deep Cut
on the second battlefield of Manassas by
a young man named Laws Spencer who
lives in that vicinity. The ring contained
the name 20. C. Henderson," and bore the
inscription, "One of the twenty-nine-V.
NJ. l., July 4, 1852
Gen. Shipp of the Virginia Military In
stitute was in the class of 1859, which con-
sisted of Twenty-Five members, and re-
membered Mr.. Henderson as being class
mate. The Star has discovered that the
original owner of the ring is alive and well
and will probably be made happy by the
restoration Of his long lost property. He
is Mr.. o. Casenove Henderson, who is well
known in this city and in Alexandria,
where he resides, on Pitt street. He is a
civil engineer and is now employed on the
new railroad running from fredericksburg
into the neck Of Virginia. His friends will
communicate with hin. and he will doubt
less soon see Mr.. Spencer and wear the
ring again.

Concert by the Cavalry Band.

A concert was given last evening at 6
o'clock at Fort Myer by the Sixth United
States Cavalry Band, now stationed there,
which amply repaid these who undertook
the trip to the fort to hear them. John Luch-
singer acted as chief musician, and the
men under him justified all the predictions
which have been made of their ability. A
number of spectators from the city were
among the crowd. "Almas Temple" a
march by Boegehoiz, was the first number,
the piece being dedicated to the local or
ganzation of the we'll known order of the
Mystic Shrine. A number of light and
pretty numbers were rendered, and one or
two heavier selections received merited ap-
plause. The band made fine appearance
and impressed those who heard it in a very
favorable manner.

AMONG THE WORKERS.
Proceedings of the Federation-Many
Matters of Interest.


Matters of Interest.
The proceedings Of the Federation of
Labo. last night were full of interest to the
large number of craftsmen represented in
the body. Delegates from thirty-three or
CARNATIONS were In attendance. President
McHugh occupied the chair
The credentials of the newly elected dele
gates from the Fresco Painters and Car
penters' Assembly and the Pioneer Laun-
dry Assembly were received, and the dele
gates were admitted and seated.
The committee. which was appointed at
the request of Mr. N. Auth, to call on him
and see if the difficulties between him and
the members of some of the societies OF
organized labor could rot be adjusted, re-
ported that they had not succeeded in max
ing a satisfactory arrangement.
The credentials of the delegates from the
Steam Filters Association, new organiza-
ton, were referred to the Plumbers Union.
The plumbers objected to the admission of
the steam filters on the ground that the
charter of the plumbers gave them the
privilege to work as stes m filters and that
the latter are now working more hours
and for less pay than the plumbers charge
for the same class of work. The plumbers
are expected to make report on the sub
ject at the next meeting of the Fedora
ton.
A report was submitted stating that nom
union cement workers are being employed
in laying a floor at the Al street power
house of tho Metropolitan Railway Com

prlsonment of Eugene v. Debs and Other

bers of the Federation to attend the serv-
ice was accepted.
There was great deal Of talk in refer
ence to the action of the Marine Band re-
garding the Labor day parade. and Prof.
Fanciulli came in for much criticism; but
no decisive course was adopted, as the plate
printers and plasterers stated that each
would have a report to submit on the sub
ject at the meeting of the Federation, Tues
day next.
