He said that he had received assurances

calm and moderate in their actions, to make
no noise on thestreet orinpu bic places, and to
keep away from saloons.

The Anacostia road men who have not yet
become memebrs of the union sigDified
their intention OF doing so, and after ap-
pointinga committee TO keepa watch around
the stables last night to see that no effort
was made to take out the cars, the meeting
adjourned.
Mr. Hawkins said last night, in speaking
OF the strike, that the men only received
from $102 TO ST 04 day of thirteen to
to fourteen hours length, and Were uncer-
tnin OF that until it was placed in their
hands Out of this meager sum many of
them support their families, and it is simply
a financial impossibility for them in addition

by the company.
1t was rumored last night in Anacostia
that the company had sent to Charles county,
Md, for force of men to take the places OF
the striking drivers, aud it was also stated
that a number OF colored men had offered
their services.
The men have conducted themselves in an
exemplary manner throughout. There
has been no disorderly conduct either on the
part OF the strikers or their synpathizers,
and the men only express determination to
fight for what they consider their rights.
They will endeavor TO coax men filling
their places.

Judge Hale has been town trustee for
thirty years. Since his death, holders OF

different times in the towns name, but the
town books contain no records of such trans
actions.
The town officers are now engaged in
investigating the accounts Of tie late trus
tee. The last town reports showed an
outstanding loan of Sc, ,S4I, but notes al
eadyfound, make the amount from $50, 600
TO SIC. 600, and they are still coming in.
II is not known what was done With the
money. He lived well, supporting the ap-
pearance OF wealth with little visible prop
erty.
His home in Foxcroft is in his wifa's
name, but ne owned some real estate in this
and adjoining towns. Judge Hale was
universally respected and esteemed and bore
a spotless reputation. He was not re-
quired TO give bond, as trustee.

MORRIS RODE IN GOOD FORM
Piloted Three of His Mounts to
Victory.
Trinculo Adds Another to His Long List Of
Wins-Bronston Easily Disposed Of
Dillon J. and West Side.

The bookies and talent seem to have liked
thingst up between them, of late, to divide
the races Forseyeral days past they have
broken very nearly even, three favorites
and as many outsiders getting the money
Yesterday proved no exception, they again
dividing the honors.
The cloudy weather did not deter the
regulars a little bit, as they turned out in
large numbers.
Jockey Morris had good day in the
saddle, as he piloted Rama. Northford and
Halcyon to victory.
w. b. HolIins took both the first and second
events, with Rama and Northrord
Meadows was made a hot favorite, clos
ing an even money favorite over Ella, who
was tipped to do the trick, being played
from fives to threes
To good start Ella went to the front
and stayed there clear to the last furlong,
won by a neck from Ella, who beat Mate
where Rama got up and in a driving finish
length for second money.
Nothing aunted the talent came back
and played both Wirtz and Bellagio heavily.
The former went to the post an to
favorite, while Bellagio was at twoes.
Northford, who should have been 10
shot, was for some reason overlooked and
as good as 4 tc / could be had at the
close.
The start was very poor, the favorite
getting much the worst OF il. Morris went
ont on Northford, and setting fast pace
was never headed, winning handIy by an
open length. Bellagio was second, three
lengths to the good OF Fritz, third.
Timcule looked like a good thing in the
third race and went to the post prohibit
tive favorite at 8 to 8. Forest was
played to some extent and closed second
choice al fours. rt
Tammany Hall showed in front the first
part OF the journey, but soon gave way to
TrincuIo, who had to be ridden out to beat
Con Lucy. Paragon came fast at the close
and ran into third place.
Another ravorite got home first in the
next event. Tenacious was the horse 10
gladden. the hearts OF the talent. He opened
at 10 8, but was hammered so steadily
that 4 TO was the best obtainable at the
close.
Tenacious and Paris ran clear away from
their field, and had a heart breaking finish
between them. Tenacious lasted just long
enough to beat Paris a head Come Home
struggled in third twenty lengths away.
The betting in the fifth event, at six and
quarter furlongs, lay between Son Malheur
and Halcyon, the latter finally closing
fayorite at 8 to 3.
When it came TO racing, it was Halcyon
all the way, she winning at the end by
length and a half. Clansman, a 20 to l
shot, was second, two lengths in front of
Pickaway, third.
West Side was made TO 8 favorite
in the last event, with Bronston and Dillon
j next in demand at IA to and 4 to
respectively.
II proved TO be an easy race for Bronston.
West Side led on suffrance till well into
the back stretfll, where Coudrier moved
up on Bronston, and getting in front was
never headed, winning easily by three
lengths West Side second, length and
a half before Dillon j, third.

Archbishop Kahn Says the Government
Has Broken Faith with Catholics.
st. Louis, Mo-, April 2.-Archbishop
Kain said in regard to the cutting down by
Congress of appropriations for Catholic
Indian schools:
"Ithink the government has broken faith.
The Catholics established Indian schools,
as did the Protestant denominations, at the
request of the government, which promised
to maintain the schools il the churches built
them
Catholics built more schools and had
more pupils than the others, because our
people gave more money for the Indians
than did the Protestants. or course, the
Catholics Were entitled to larger appro-
priations, and if they get S400, goo and
others only $780, 900, the reason was 10
be found in their devotion to the work and
their liDerality"
