AN INTERESTING SESSION HELD YESTERDAY
AFTERNOON.
New Delegates Admittsd-A Report on Labor Leg
islaiiOn at CharlssiOp-PrcpositiOn 10
Establish a Paper.

SThe regular bi-monthly session of the
Ohio Valley Trades and Labor Assem-
bly, was held yesterday afternoon, and
the proceedings were very interesting.
The attendance of delegates was good.
After the reading and approval of the
minutes, credentials were accepted
from the following named delegates:
Local No. 7SS, L. NJ. w. of A., Frank
Hoyt.
Crescent Lodge No. s, A. A. of I. &
S. w, Michael Grogan.

Steadman, John Wander.
B. of B. & S. b., No 1853, J. b. O'Neal,
Willard Stout.
Nothing new was reported under the
head of boycotts. A report was called
for from Delegate p F. Farrell, who
was sent to Charleston to lobby in the
interest of legislation asked by organ
lied labor Mr.. Farrell spent a week
in Charleston, and gave a detailed re-
port of thebills introduced. and their
objects, and spoke at length Of his eff
forts to secure their passage He re-
ported that many bills passed the
House, but died in the Senate, owing
10 me suOVerslon OF all legislation to
the judiciary circuit bill in that body.
He praised Delegate Stamm in the
highest manner.
Senator Calvin S. Brice replied to
Secretary Salisbury's communication
relating to the deportation of alien An
archists. The letter was read. A COM
munIcation was read from the United
Garment Workers, of Pittsburg, asking
the aid of the Assembly in fighting two
Pittsburg concerns. Several local
firms which patroniZed them were
mentioned in the letter. No action was
taken. 1t is probable that the Assem-
bly, will move cautiously in this mat
ter.
The discussion Of the increase in the
number of nOn-union cigars handled in
Wheeling. occupied nearly an hour.
This matter has come up periodically
i'm the shape of complaints from the
delegates of Garfield Assembly, who
have repeatedly urged the members OF
the Assembly " iloll ubt AiANAi iCN'''
to wage a relentless boycott upon the
product of nOn-union shops. Many
members who took part in the discus
sion expressed sympathy with the ci-
garmakers in their efforts, and the
matter was finally disposed of by the
adoption of a resolution pledging the
co-oporet;on OF the Assembly in the Ell
forts Of the cigarmakerS to drive out
of the local market the non-union
product.
The secretary read communication
from Mr.. J. c. Lucey, who published
the Directory of the Assembly. Mr..
Lucey proposed to establish a labor pa
per l. re. to be issued weekly. He
only asked that it be made the official
organ of the o. V. T. & l.. A. The mat
ter was debated, and motion to post
none action for two weeks was
adopted.

THE RESULT OF A TEST.
Fred. Miller Indicted by the Grand
Jury.

Fred. Miller Indicted by the Grand
Jury.
Among the indictments returned yester-
day afternoon by the retiring grand jury
was one against Frederick T. Miller, charg-
ing him with setting up gaming table.
Miller is the young horSeman who conduct
ed bookmaking OH scrub race at the Ben
ming race track early last month. 1t is
said that Miller made the book for the pur-
pose Of testing the law, which, as construed
by Judge Cole iii the case OF the Ivy CITY
bOokinakeiS, about a year ago, prohibits
boohmaking in the District. 1t has been
stated that Miller was prompted to make
the test 10y the Wasi1la g4an Jockey Club,
by which organization tfe Benning track
is owned. 1t was hoped. 1t is explained,
that Judge Miller OF the Police Court would
not follow Judge Coles construction of the
law, and would refuse to commit Miller for
the action OF the grand jury. But, despite
the determined n6 mt of the young mans
counsel Mi. Henry T.. DAVIS. Judge Miller
followed Judge Coles view of the law and
held Miller.
The penalty provided for the offense of
which Miller how stands indicted is i'm
prisonment for hot less than one nor more
than nVe years District Attorney Birney
states that he wall prosecute the case
against Miller with the 9east delay possible.
Miller will probably be aftaiened next Sat
urday.

SENTENCED FOR DIGAMY.
John T. Knight Gets Two Years for
Having Two Wives.

Judge Cole yesterday sentenced John T..
Knight an elderly white man. to two years
in the penitentiary, upon a conviction sew
eral days ago in Criminal Court No. OF
bigamy. May IL, 1859. Knight married
Mary Jane Wilkins at Baltimore. Md.
There were several children born to them,
and for about twelve years past Knight
had lived here, while his wife resided in
Baltimore. On the 9th of last June Knight
married here Mrs. Annie Burgess, although
he knew that his first wife still lived.
In passing sentence yesterday the ques-
ton as to under what law sentence could
be imposed arose. 1t was found that big
amy In the District Is not defined by any
express statute of the United States, but is
under the common law. Under the statute
of James 1 of 1913 bigamy was made a
felony, punishable by death. but within the
benefit OF clergy. This law was declared
to be in full force in Maryland by act OF
ITOG, and no change had been made in it
when Maryland coded part of its territory
to the United States for the formation of
the District OF Columbia. Congress has en-
acted, however, that every person con-
victed OF bigamy in the District shall suffer
Imprisonment and labor for the first Of
Tense for not less than two nor more than
seven years.

Difference of Opinion Over East WASH
ingtOn Railroad.
Several interested property owners ap-
peared before the Commissioners yesterday
and presented long petition protesting
against the chartering Of the proposed
East Washington Belt Line railway on 30
street, east. The petition sets forth that
Sd street is narrow, having only thirty
two-foot carriageway, and built up al
most entirely with residences. A double
track would materially reduce the value
of the property. the petition states, with
out adding to the comfort and convenience
of the residents. Five roads already exist.
and the road Is not necessary. If, however,
the necessity does exist, House bill 400,
which provides for the extension OIL the
AnacoStia Railroad Company, connecting
the north ana southeast sections of the city,
Will more fully meet the wants OF this
section than the one proposed, furnishing
as it does, facilities Tor reaching the marx
et the business center of the city, the navy
yard, AnacoStla, and the steamboat land

A monster petition was also received to-
day from the residents in that section of

NEW YEAR FIRES.
Two Morning Blnzes Usher I'm Year Of
1895.

The fire department turned out early this
morning and welcomed in the new year.
Two alarms were sounded between the
ringing of the midnight bells and o'clock.
1t was exactly 1855 o'clock when the first
alarm from box GO was turned in by Police
man Herbert. The officer turned in the
alarm because he saw dense clouds Of
smoke issuing from the windows Of house
731 North Capitol strcek. There were cries
Of fire" and the fact that the printing
office box was pulled gave rise to the be-
lief that that old fire trap was burning.
This was the reason why so large a crowd
gathered on North Capitol street. Mr..
Dietz, a shoemaker, occupies the house in
which the fire originated, and the adjoining
house was also slightly damaged. There
was more smoke than fire, although the
household effe3ts were damaged by water.
- Thirty-five minutes after this alarm was
turf ed in Policeman McCort turned in an
alarm from box 49, for fire in the building
on the southwest corner of Louisiana ave-
nue. and 9th street. over the grocery and
fruit store Of w. H. keister. The nre
started in the upper part Of the building,
where the boxes and goods were stored,
and proved good fuel for the flames, and
when the entire row Of buildings was
threatened a general alarm calling out all
the companies was sounded. On the ground
floor of these buildings are the meat stores
OF j. "A. norman, Joseph GamDle ana W al
ter Robinson. The firelnen succeeded in
keeping the flames from The ground floor,
although the stock was badly damaged by
water. The roof of the corner structure
was entirely consumed, although the side
and front walls were probably not in
jured.
This building is one of the old land marks
of the city and was used during the war
by the Union soldiers and for many years
was occupied as grocery store by the late
j. Hall Semmes.
The fire, it is thought, originated from
stove kept on the upper floor. The dam
age is estimated at about $lO,000 and the
stock and building are fully insured.

AS patron OF the Eastern Market l de-
sire to enter a protest against the closing
of the market yesterday at II o'clock. 1t
has been the usual custom to keep open
all day, and the closing up at 1890 O'Clock
is an injustice, not only to the patrons or
the market, but to the dealers who have
laid in their stock for the holiday, and who
must suffer the loss of great amount of
business, besides compelling US to go else
where for our holiday trade.
