Sections Of City.

Assaults on Business Men in Different
Sections of City.
The police authorities are investigating
two cases of highway robbery. which have
been reported to them as occurring last
night. The first took place at the corner
of Florida avenue and 18th street northwest
about 10 80 o'clock, and the victim was Mr..
Frank H. Jones of No. 1914 Florida ave-
nue.. Mr.. Jones states that when near his
home, and at a corner where there are two
gas lamps, he was attacked by two men,
one of whom placed his hand over the VIC
TINS mouth The other one caught him
about the body and the two forced him to
the ground. They then went through his
pockets, but found nothing, as he had left
his money at home. The scoundrels then
tore Mr.. Jones overcoat off of him and ran
away. Mr.. Jones went to the nearest drug
store and reported the matter to the police
authorities.
The second robbery was that of Mr. T. p
Hickman. commission merchant, doing
business at the corner of Louisiana avenue
and 10th street. While on mis- way to his
home, No. 6Oo II street northwest. shortly
before j o'clock this morning, from 11th
and II streets northwest, and in front Of

taken by two men. who had been following

Mr.. Hickman a terrific blow in the face
ard clutched him by the throat Mr.. Hick-
man was forced to the ground. and while
PROSTATE he was robbed of 81 and Il gold
watch. valued at SD The latter transac-
ton was seen by mail collector, who was
about half a square away, and he blew a
police whistle, which served to make the
ruffians take to their heels.
The noise of the whistle was heard by
Officer Brown. who tried to arrest the par
ties wanted. but without success, as they
had too much start Mr.. Hickmans nose
and face were cut during his encounter
with the highwaymen, but he went to the
first precinct station and reported his eX-

LABOR MEN DISAPPOINTED
Defeat Of the Eight-Hour Bill Matter Of
Great Regret.
Views of Those Interested I'm the
Observation-Disclosures Action
i'm Choosing Legislators.

The failure of the Senate to pass the eight
hour bill was a disappointment TO those
labor men, who, after the unanimous pas
sage of the bill by the House, anticipated
favorable action by the Senate. Referring
to this one of the most prominent labor
leaders in the District said to a Star re-
porter:
THE organized labor of the District and
the country regarded the measure as of
far greater Importance to industrial in
terests than any bill previously submitted
to Congress. Every effort was made by or
ganized labor to procure its passage tnro, gh
the Senate. Petitions were forwarded to
that body and the committee on education
and labor from central bodies, from state
federations and local unions all over the
country, asking that the bill be favorably
considered. There was, however, an oppos-
ing force which actively labored TO de-
feat the measure. These opponents were
principally those interested in government
contracts, and as the bill proposed to limit
the hours OF labor of those employed upon
the work done by the United States they re-
garded it seriously affecting their inter
eStS and an unwarranted interference with
private business.
Several hearings were given to the OPP
ponents of the bill by the Senate committee
on education and labor. after which, on
June -, 1895 the committee, through Mr..

the Senate with amendments, which were
regarded by many of the labor people as
seriously affecting the scope of the meas
ure
Provisions of the Bill.
''The bill as 1t passed the House pro-
vides that no person whose duty 1t Shall
be to employ, direct or control the services
of such laborers, workmen or mechanics,
or who has, in fact, the direction or con-
troll Of such laborers, workmen or mechan-
les, shall require or permit them or any
of them to labor more than eight hours
in any one calendar day, except in cases
of extraordinary emergency caused by fire,
flood or danger to life or property, and
makes provision for work on public. mill
tary naval construction in time of war.
The Senate committee proposed to elimi-
nate from the bill the premise defining an
extraordinary emergency, and insert eX-
cept when in the opinion of the head of
the department having the work in charge
an emergency exists This amendment
was also made to apply to work done for
the government under contract
1T is said that the amendments made
Were reluctantly agreed to by the repre-
sentadives of labor. as the only means by
which the committee having the bill in
charge could be induced to report it TO
the Senate AS amended, il was much bet
ter and more satisfactory to the labor
people than the eight-hour law now on
the statute book, as during the pendency
of the bill the issue was plainly made be-

RESTOCKING QUAIL COVERTS
Orders Rapidly Coming in to Mr.. Moreland
From Two States.
Birds on Their Way From the West
Points Upon Proper Liberation
and Feeding.

The numerous orders for live quail being

persons living in Maryland and Virginia, in
localities where birds ayere numerous before

belief of many local spQrtsmen that only a

those which sought shelter at barns
found refuge under straw stacks or in very
thick underground. They are few and far
between, however, as diligent inquiry on
the part of The Star has proved. Every
mail received by Mr.. Moreland contains
several orders and inquiries. Among the
latter received this morning one from

ing tnem, after their arrival here, as soon
as the pairing off of the bids as far as
possible can be effected.
Suggestions Worth Studying.
1t will be well for those who liberate the
birds to understand that it is better to
Tree the quail in small punches of say five,
seven or nine birds, with the odd bird
male. There is some divergence of opinion
as to whether it is best, when returns
from breeding are considered. to liberate
them in couples a male and female, or
follow the course suggested, but experience
mas proved that the latter plan is decided
ly the best
1t should also be borne in mind that birds
liberated must be fed until they become
familiar with their new surroundings.
Grain and. screenings should be thrown
about, but care should be taken to scatter
feed only in limited quantities, and re-
duce 1t gradually to nothing, thus causing
the birds to seek their own food by degrees
until they are able to be sustaining.
The quail should be liberated in thick
cover near water and adjacent to wheat
before and the favorite stubbles after har-
vest time.
War Against Hawks.
In order to protect the strangers after
liberation a decided and general war should
be begun and kept up against hawks. These
voracious and skillful birds of prey destroy
more quail in year than all the guns in
the country. The hawks have regular ter
ritory In which to carry on their depreda-
items, and seldom does one travel outside
of a pretty well-defned boundary. They
turn to them daily. Parties of three or
four men, who will station themselves near
such points and have a little patience, can
easily kill off the hawks in a bird country,
and have good shooting while doing 1t. 1t
is to be hoped that this suggestion will be
vigorously carried out. If so, better sport
in the fall will be all the more assured.
