cisco was organized. The object of the
union is indicated by his name. and IL or
ganized for the additional purpose of pro-
tectinG itself against suicidal prices and
bad debtors.
Things ran along prosperously and har-
moniousiY till about wear ago. There
was considerable money in the treasury.
and the number of members was about
450. The union gave, for instance. $1,000
to the Midwinter Fair. MANY of the lead.
ing members thought they could empIoy
the idle money in establishing a whole-
sale store for the benefit of the members
and saving a middleman's profit. which
runs from Is to 40 per cent. But others
were opposed to it, and this is the rock on
which the Retail Grocers' Protective
Union split But the wholesale branch
was organized and Incorporated as the
Retail Grocers' Association, Claiming to
have swallowed up the old name, title and
organization.
: But a man who is now a member of both
associations says that after while. and
possibly under the influence of other
wholesale grocery institutions. members
of the retail association began to drop out,
and there are now said to be only IT'S
mem bers in it.
Some who dropped out and some who
had never belonged met and organized an
other association under the original name
of tue Retail Grocers' Protective Union,
which the other association claimed to
have absorbed. They have held two meet
ings, and a member says their member
ship roll numbers seventy-fve. John C..
Nobmann is the president of the whole
saIers' association and ]. G. Hurley is
president of the new organization.
The wholesalers gave a very ENJOYABLE
picnic last June. Now that the new asso-
citation intends to hold a picnic, too. of
its own and under the original title which
it has assumed, the wholesalers object to
it using that title.
Last week President Nobmann of the
wholesalers issued circular and sent it
out among the grocers and tradespeople
roasting the new association for assum-
ing the original title. Monday night the
mem 5ers OF the new association held a
meeting and considered that circular.
After some warm speeches it was finally
decided not to wash any further erocer's
linen in public, and Charles Meier was in
structed to issue a peaceful circular adver-
tising the picnic and handling the subject
calmly, which he did yesterday.
Mr.. Meier says that the wholesale asso-
citation cannot eDjoin the new association
from holding its picnic and so the picnic
will be held. But in the circular which he
prepared he left out the use of the words
i'twenty-fifth annual picnic and simply
announced that the Retail Grocers' Pro-
tective Union, which was organized April
1, 1871, would hold picnic.

BUCKLENTEs co AHEAD.
A Municipal Convention Called
for the Middle of Sep
tember.
A Committee of Lawyers and Weekly
Meetings of the General Commit.
tee Ordered.

The Regular Democratic local organiza-
tion-that of the "Buckleyites"
to go right ahead independently of any
thing and everybody at a meeting of the
executive committee held last night over
which Chairman NJ. J. Donovan presided.
The meeting was neld in the new head
quarters of the organization at 20 and "a
Ellis street, which are the largest and
most convenient If not the most at
tractive occupied by any party in any
recent campaign. The Buckleyites have
taken two large front suites of two rooms
each and q connecting hall capable of
holding about 900 people if a good many
of them stand up. As the Buckleyites
have on various occasions packed Odd
Fellows and B'nai Birth halls at their
meetings, their future sessions on Ellis
street promise to be suffocating.
1t was not so much by their large, new
quarters as by their ordering OF primary
election ana a municipal convention that
the Regular Democracy declared itself in
the middle of the ring last night.
The postponed resolution offered at the
last meeting by Secretary d. M. Gavigan
was taken and discussed. There being no
apparent indications that anybody but
themselves wanted party harmony on 8
fair basis the resolution was unanimously
and enthusiast tIcaily adopted. 1t pro-
vided for primary election on September
IL and q municipal convention on Sep
temb Der Is.
The chairman was authorized to appoint
a committee of five lawyers, who may or
may not be members of the organization,
to fight the legal battles of the faction any
and every where, through thick and thin.
The chief legal battle ahead is the claim
of this organization to the regular party
designation on the official ballot, and for
this there is much legal evidence and war
like effort in store.
1t was decided that the municipal con-
vention should consist of 450 members,
% TO be chosen by each district and two to
be elected at large from each district.
Another interesting step was taken
when it was ordered that there should
hereafter be weekly meetings OF the gen.
eral committee on Monday evenings. This
will be the order from now on, beginning
next Monday evening.
This step is taken to give the widest pos
sible play to the principle of popular rep
resentation in the management of the af-
fairs of the party and to keep the mass of
party workers interested and in touch
with what is being done.
The Junta is now interested wholly in
the appointment of election officers, and
meantime various schemes for holding a
convention, for which the delegates are to
be appointed, are being discussed.

DAVIS ANNUAL REPORT.
The Chief Market Inspector
Makes Some Pertinent
Suggestions.

Market Inspector Ben Davis has rem
dered his annual report to the Board of
Health in which many pertinent sugges-
tions regarding health regulations as well
as interesting figures on the seizures of
the year are given
The most important suggestion relates
to the hanging of meats outside of butcher
shops, which is declared to be dangerous
to the health OF the public that eats of the
me at. The report is in part as follows:
I would respectfully call the attention of
your honorable body to the present poor and
inefficient laws governing this branch of the
service. They are far below any of the various
Eastern cities in regard to the thorough in
spection of meats and msrkets and are lacking
in all the essential poi ats at present included
in the market laws adopted by these cities
With new set OF laws, placing this Citv on a
par with those in the East, my assistants and
myself could do much more efficient service,
nsplte of the well-known fact that it is almost
an impossibility for such small force to
watch every point throughout the City sus.
pected of being an ingress Tor poor meats
1 would also recommend tnat the board
pass an order prohibiting the hanging of
meats outside of markets in this City. The
reason for this is that the meats become i'm
pregnated with dust from the streets and in
some cases with the germs OF disease. In the
poorer sections of the City this is quite no.
ticeable. Such regulations are now in force
in Eastern cities
The following statistics are given:
Markets inspected, 2S61; restaurants, 81:
bakeries, II; egetable-stands. PAL; poultry
stores, 12S.
Meat seized: Beef, 4723 pounds; shark.
1000 pounds; herrings, 1000 pounds; hall
but, $50 pounds; chickens, SS9 pounds
fish, 100 pounds.
There were twenty-one arrests made for
violations of the health regulations and
seventeen convictions secured.
