THE CENTRAL LABOR UNION.



ports From Unions.
The regular weekly meeting Of the Cen
trail Labor Union was held last evening al
Typographical Temple, with Presiden: Mil
ford Spohn presiding and Mr.. William Sill
yer acting as secretary in the place of Sec
retary Torrens, the latter icing absent.
The gratifying statement was made, both
by delegates from the Amalgamated Car
penters and the BARRIERS Union, that not
only was zone of their members out of en-
ployment, but that there was more demand
for members Of both unicns than could be
supplied. The carpenters also stated that
they could guarantee work to any first
class carpenter who joins their union in
the near future.
Organizer Weber reported that he had
received an application signed by number
of retail Oil dealers asking that they be or
ganized into union under a charter of the
Central Labor Union, and that he expected
that the matter would have been in proper
shape by the time of the meeting Of the
Central Labor Union Of last evening, but
there had occurred a little delay, caused,
ne expected, by the intervening OF Labor
day. The papers would, he thought, be
ready for presentation at the Eext meeting
of the Central Labor Union.
Organizer Weber also stated that he had
received information that twenty members
of the Bakers Assembly were discussing
the advisabiity of leaving that organiZa-
.ticn and asking for a charter as union
under the Central Labor Union. Mr.
Weber was requested to confer with the
bakers and confectioners' unions in ref
erence to the matter, ard IL the latter were
willing to have the new union formed, to
take the necessary steps in the matter.
The special committee appointed con-
fer with the Potomac Light and Power
Company in reference to the employment
of union PAYERS reported that the company
stated that they lad given a contract for
the work in question to the Baltimore Con-
duit Company, which had sublat the cob TO
Mr.. +. Saxton Of this city, and that conse-
quently the first named had nothing 10 do
with the matter. They would, however,
the officials said. much prefer that union
men be employed by Mr.. Saxton on the
work if the latter could see his way clear
to do so.

NO MONEY FOR REWARDS.
Criminals Who Escape Because of
Lack OF Funds.

Major Moore received a dispatch this
morning from Constable George Mullin Of
Clear Spring. Md, asking If a reward had
been offered for the arrest Of John Sites
the colored man who is charged with the
murder Of Conrad Plock at Heurich's brew
cry last month. There has been no reward
offered in the case for the reason that
there Is no fund for this purpose A fund
to be expended in this way is provided, but
1t is SO small that the police are enabled to
do but little toward arresting fugitives.
1t Is said that the escape of Lucius john
son. colored, for the murder of King Howe
in South Washington several years ago
was due almost entirely to the lack Of
funds with which to pursue the inyestiea-
ton. The escape Of Sites may prove the
result Of the same cause.

who Is under arrest at Colonial Beach.

Pursuant 10 notice given in the

sized crowd gathered in this city
Saturday night to jollify over the
election of Mckinley TO the presi-
dency. Bonfires were lighted at
different places on Military street
and everything was in a blaze OF
slory-and bonfires. An impromp'
tn band enlivened the occasion
with some soul-stirring music, a
big crowd paraded the streets until
late hour, and the whole affair
was a howling success from start tc
finish.
About ll:30 o'clock some seventy
five boys from the country enjoyed
what they called a coon hunt, but
owing TO lack of space we won't
dwell on that.

This was Of deep interest from the
