In $1,000 bail for the action of the grand
jury for yesterday assaulting his father,

not sure that he would not kill his father

spcnsible cause Of his brothers death, by
charging his son with larceny when there
was every reason to believe that the now
dead youth was innocent.

The term Of the present grand jury will
expire the first Monday of next month, the
4th. and it is hardly possible for all of the
existing cases 10 be disposed of by that
time. The incoming grand jury will. there
fore, also confront a weil-hlled docket. In
addition to these pending charges there are
a large lumber of cases which have already
been disposed of by the grand jury. but in
which trials have not yet been had. These
what are Known as bail cases. in which
the accused parties have given bond to APP
pear for trial
Among these cases are those of Chas. J..

ECbt H. Martin. who stands indie ted for the

that institution. These three cases pre-
sent, il Is understood, unusually difficult
obstacles for the prosecution, and 1t is the
intention of District Attorney Davis to
dispose of them as soon possible after
tie Criminal Courts meet, the 5th of next
month. although he will follow the practice
OF giving jail cases the precedence.
The case against Hawkins the tax Office
robber, will be among the first presented 10
the present grand jury. He will, ii is said
plead guilty. but he need expect 10 leni-
fEcy, for District Attorney Davis stated 20
Star reporter today that he will ask the
court to give him the extreme penalty
which Is but three years Imprisonment in
the penitentiary at hard labor.

JOINED WITH ANARCHISTS.
Action of New York Labor Union
Over HaxIetOn Affair.

Action of New York Labor Union
Over HaxIetOn Affair.
From the New York World Of Today.
The Central Labor Union, usually the
most conservative Of bodies cut loose from
all its traditions yesterday in its indigna-
ton over the shooting of striking miners in
Lattimer, Pa. Temperate resolutions. were
adopted denouncing Sheriff Martin, but the
talk which accompanied them was of the
most radical description.
AS climax the union gave a hearing to a
committee OF anarchists of the group of
which Emma Goldman is the leader, and
appointed a committee to cooperate with
them in getting up a mass Meeting in Union
Square tc denounce the killing, and, incl
dentally, all law and government. The few
men who were not swept away by the eA-
element and who pointed out the probable
results of the association with the anar-
chists were howled down when they at
tempted to get bearing.
The anarchist committee. which consisted
of John Kelly, ]. H.. Smith and A. Press.
purported to come from the New York
Debating Club" Some of the delegates,
thinking they were politicians, wanted to
refuse them admittance, and when it was
learned that they were anarchists a few
protested, but they were swept aside by a
speech by John F. Maher of the Liberty
Dawn Association Of Coach Drivers, in
which he said:
Nothing will make anarchists quicker
than what happened last Friday. I am no
anarchist, but I would not be surprised II
there were 10000 more in New York than
on last Friday. What good will resolutions
do? Will any governor of any state insti-
tute an investigation that will result in
furnishing anybody?
= David Hams of the Cigarmakers' Union

said, ''be he anarchist or not, who will
stand UP and say a word for the miners and
In protest against wholesale murder"
John Kelly of the anarchists committee
said: I'VE ask you to cooperate with us in
declaring to the world that the blood CT
others than workingmen will be shed II this
sort of thing goes on"
j. H. Smith. another of the anarchists
said: 1.-THE time for words and resolutions
has passed. IL 1t is the privilege of the law
officers in Pennsylvania to shoot men down
like dogs they have the same privilege in
New York"

wildly applauded when he denounced the
militia. 1.-THE worlxingman who Joins the

SAMPLE OF JUSTICE.
Unusual Proceedings in n Subordinat.
Court of Alexandria County,


Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
GLENCARLYN, Va. September 10, 1897.
AS sequel to the escape of two con-
Victed men, while they were being escorted
TO the county Jail at Alexandria several
weeks ago, as published in The Star at the
time, when Officer Gaines of Rosslyn was
roughly handled. several startling facts
have developed, which give promise of a
most interesting and sensational develop
ment in Alexandria county justice.
1t is understood that Turner who is al
legged to have furnished the butcher knife
which, In the hands of the desperate Har-
ris, SO nearly closed the earthly career of
Constable Gaines was recently captured at
his home. near Queen City, by Special OFF,
Ger burke, and Immediately carried before
Justice Holmes a colored magistrate of
! the county. residing on Johnson's HILL
The case was at once opened before his
honor, who, it is stated, was on friendly
terms with the defendant. In the absence
OF witnesses for the commonwealth, post
Eonement was ordered by the court, to give
their case. - =.
It Is stated as remarkable fact that
neither the trial justice, the officer who
made the arrest nor any one of those con-
nected with the court considered it neces-
sary or expedtent to notify the witnesses
at Rosslyn of the arrest of Turner.
IN contlnu1ng the case for short time
his honor fixed the bond at 500, and, it is
said, accepted the n,erbal statement of the
bondsman for the defendantas to his finan-
cial responsibility. Several days later, up
on the expiration of, the time allowed by
the court, Turner presented himself before
the justice and demanded. through his
attorney, an immediate trial or his re-
lease. Ea sei
AS no representative ofilthe common
wealth was PRESENT. and the witnesses in
the case knew nothing of the proceedings.
Holmes at once released the defendant,
stating that any Inconvenience caused by
the case was greatly regretted by the court.
Upon securing his release Turner quickly
disappeared from hts usual haunts. and,
Notwithstanding the factrl that Sheriff

In the course of his address, in re-
Spouse to a speech of welcome, Mr.. Car

capital as a whole, invested in manu-
featuring in the United States, [ doubt
if it has earned 81 of profit for three
years past; that is to say. the losses

1T is my opinion that our adversely

postponed because a large number of
our people began an agitation some
of the standard of value which had
hitherto been maintained in this coun-
try.
wherefore, my friends, believe me, the
man who. above all others, longs for and
labors for general prosperity is the en-
ployer of labor.
why is it that business has not re
vived, as was expected. after the result
of the national election was declared?
Well 1 think people expected too much,
or too early a recovery. The season of
the year for recovery is after spring

sufficient momentum in January to
overcome the inertia of the mass which
lay immOvable, but the conditions are
all the most favorable, and business as
a whole is upon a sound foundation.

BOXES FOR THEATER HATS
Women Expected to Dof Headgear
at Harlem Theater.

New York, Jan. 25.-Mr. George A.
Blumenthal, business manager OF the
Harlem Opera House in West one Hun
dred and Twenty street. near Sew
enth avenue, has adopted plans for a
hat room for women, which will shortly
be installed as a feature of theater. All
women patrons will be requested to re-
move their hats before taking their
seats.
Mr.. Blumenthal believes he has
found a successful solution of the thea
ter hat problem. He told a reporter
that he was confident the women would
respond to the appeal when they learn
ed of the arrangement and found that
the management became absolutely re-
spOnsible for hats during the time they
were left in the custody of its employees.
There will be two rooms. The larger
will be furnished in a cosy style, with
mirrors and other conveniences which
women require for their coiffures before
or after removing their headgear Three
women will be in constant attend
ance. The smaller room will be fitted
with a series of closed boxes. These
will be numbered and have checks, the
numbers of which will correspond with
that painted on the box The boxes
will vary in size and there will be 25
two feet square. They will be lined
with silk and fitted in the most APP
proved manner.
