Of the washington Young Mems Christian
Association viii be turned into service
celebrating the forty second anniversary
of the organization of the local branch.
On June 8, 1852, the preliminary meeting

ton of the movement the Rev. j. G. Butler
has been affiliated with the associations
affairs, and to-day he will make an adj
dress.
During that time Dr.. Butler has been
an active worker in the association, and
he will relate many interesting recollec-
lions and "reminiscences this evening, and
in addition will lay especial stress upon
the difference between the work at first,
which somewhat resembled that now done
by the Central Union Mission, and its
labors among the middle and higher classes
at the present day.
The first president Of the Washington as
ISOLATION was p rof. Zalmon Richards,
now about eighty-four years of age, who
will be on band to-day to see to what
dimensions the society has grown In
1868 the first paid secretary was added
to the association. under the name of
general secretary, which was the first
time that this title was used in the United
States. q = &
The holders of this office have been George
A. Hall, A. r. Stewart, Warren Choate,
jr., Oliver G. Morse, T. A. Harding, George
A. Sanford, II. M. Clarke, and the present
energetic general secret airy, James E.

past five WARS has been 1871, and il the
associ alton could but secure better

would at least double the membership in
side of six months.

WAGNER is GETTING EVEN
Attaches Chris Won der Ahe's Gate
Receipts on an Old Score.
The st. Louis Magnate withheld
Money from the National Club to
Make Up Losses.

A United States Deputy Marshal quietly
took possession OF the gate receipts at the
ball game here yesterday afternoon. This
was upon an attachment issued under a
suit brought by the National Baseball
Club tn recover $500.
1t is against the SpOrtsmen's Park and
Club, of st. Louis, Mo, aud Chris Won
Der Abe, as stakeholder, controller and
manager Of the funds. Cook and suther-
land are the attorneys.
The paper is signed by J. Earl Wagner,
as treasurer. secretary aud agent of the
National Club, aud Manager Schmelz makes
an affidavit in support OF its claims
1t is asserted that Mr.. Won Der Abe,
without Just cause. has withheld from the
National ChIb, sums of money as follows:
July 8, 1893, $500; July 4, 1894. S2TI;
September 20, 1894, S446 g.; May %,
1895, $26S.63, and May &c, 1885, S64S-
The differences between the baseball
managers grows out OF the fierce COM
petition that led to the consolidation Of
the American Association and the League
in 1892. Mr.. Won der Abe made certain
advances that year to the Cincinnati team,
and has always claimed that the other
League organizations ought TO share with
him the losses he suffered. The others
have demurred that they did not author
iZe the expenditure and should not be re-
quired to make it good.
From time to time Mr. Won der Abe
has caught the other managers at st.
Louis and withheld their gate receipts.
Mr.. Wagner makes the total of his money
kept in this way foot up S2,134.11.
The interest brings the amount up to
the $4,000 sued for. Under the suit Mr..
Wagner proposes to attach Mr.. Won der

THEYARE NOT OVERLOOKED
District Stable Men Not Employed
6yeE Eight Hours Day.
No Complaints Received from Them
on That score-Major Powell's
Reply to Sundry Questions.

Whether or not the men employed at the
District stables have to work from ten
totwelve hours aday, Sundaysincluded, and,
if they make any objection. are discharged,
was inquired into by The Times at the re-
quest of one of its subscribers.
The overseer OF the stables was called on
yesterday with a view OF getting at these
facts and was asked some preliminary
questions, which he politely declined to
answer, on the ground thet as an empoye
he was forbidden to give out any information
and he furtherstatedth that the otheremployes
at the stables could, for the same reason,
answer no questions.
Application was then made to Engineer
Commissioner Powell, who at once re-
ferred to the records and gave all the infor-
nation desired The employees at the sta
bells are one overseer, one Waterman, and
seven drivers. Three of the drivers get
$40 month and four of them get $3.50
day.
Major Powell admitted that the employees
were not limited to eight hours day, and
he expressed doubt il the men came under
the provisions of the eight-hour law, which
had been construed TO refer specifically
to "laborers and mechanics" Certainly,
he said, those who work by the month do
not come under it.
Powell said that it was not true. Some
times the men work more than eight
hours, and again they work less than
eight hours, and he believes that on the
average they are not in service more than
the eight hours that apply to other work
men. As to the Sunday work, it was
merely the feeding and care of the horses
AS TO the second point made above,
Major Powell said that he had not heard
of any complaints. One man had asked
for higher wages, but his claim was not
based on the number of hours he worked
The appropriation for the stables Is
$500; and il two shifts were employed so
a to bring the men under the eight-hour
law an additional amount would be
necessary.
The correspondent of The Times sug-
gests that if these employees are not under
the eight-hour law they should be so
placed. Major Powell says that it is a
question whether this class of employees
comes under that law, and that they are
not worked more than eight hours on an
average.

An Irish Land Lacquer Gives Him
self Up for Murder.
Says He Killed Patrick Shay on the
Order of a Secret Society-Inyes-
tigating the Story.

Seneca Falls, N. Y, June 8.-Last even
ing D. II. Kellogg was accosted by
stranger, who said he was looking for a po-
liceman. He told Mr. Kellogg he had COM
mtted q murder and wanted TO give him
self up to the authorities.
The man said his name was Sullivan, and
that he, in 1881, during the time of the land
league in Ireland, murdered man named
Patrick Shay, who had been proven a
traitor TO a secret order. 1t was decided
that he should be shot and Sullivan Lad
executed the decree.
Sullivan was committed TO jail He told
Officer Flanagan that he had been in New
York State about six weeks, having come
here from New Jersey. He said he had been
unable to rest. was haunted by the re-
membrance of his crime; life had become a
burden and he determined to confess all and
receive his punishment.

van to the Monroe county penitentiary for

Fun at Marshall Hall.

To-day is Sunday and day of rest, but
pleasure seekers that want to go away
from the heat of the city will find the
picturesque spot of Marshall Hall one of
the coolest resorts on the Potomac. 1t is
a great luxury to stroll on the green lawns
of Marshall Hall and treat that no one
should miss, especially when the price
to go down is within reach of all. Amuse-
ments are too numerous to mention that
will both please young and old. Prof.
Schroeder's fine concert band will be in
attendance both on the boat and at the
Hall. The steamer Charles Manchester
will make three trips to-day at i a. M,
$50 and $50 p. IN. The River Queen
will make flying trip at 8 p. m.

These informal hops will be given fort
nightly. The next one will be preceded
by club regatta in the afternoon.
ANALoSTAN BOAT CLUB.
There is considerable activity at the
Analostan boat house, and the season
promises to be full of interest and rowing.
As in former years, the A. b. G. leads in
the number of barge parties. In the past
ten days three large parties were given to
Potomac-ADalostan Landing.
The prospects are that Capt. Moore
will get out an exceptionally strong jun
ior'' eight from among the new men OF
this and last years additions to the club,
and in that class will be able to meet all
corners in the Potomac River Regatta.
There is considerable talk of sending q
senior -four TO the Schuylkill Regatta
July 4th, and thoTe is good reason why the
proposition should be thought well of ,
because the club has a number of very
excellent senior men, who would make a
winning four" notwithstanding the short
space of time left for preparation, which
latter now seems the only obstacle in the
way of an early favorable decision.
Among the new men who give promise
of doing work are: Hine, Ryan, Halves,
James and Bradley.
The committee having the matter in
charge announces that il has perfected

dollar each, and will admit lady and gen

Philadelphia on July 4th.
Capt, now Governor, Shepard is put

Maurice will take up single sculling
again and will, probably with Won
Dachenhausen, represent the club in the
junior SOULS.
Several barge parties are being arranged
to take place this month.
The semi-monthly hops at the p. B. c.
boathouse have long been feature of each
recurring summer season and the first
