The great expense of attending the
marvellous Exposition now being held
at Paris, will keep the great mass Of

said responsibility and energy and
asked for the undivided, hearty and
earnest cooperation of the party and
other voters who appreciate honOred
labor. He expressed the belief that
the workingmen themselves arc re-
sponsible for the present existing con-
ditions.
Delegate Gurrell moved that the
chairman and secretary act in con-
junction with the candidate in appoint
ing the standing committee, but NJ. j.
Gibbons objected, believing that the
candidate should appoint the commit

discussion, but before anything definite
was decided upon a motion to adjourn
prevailed.

LONG IS AT LIBERTY.
Golden's Slayer Supposed to Have
Been Seen at Lake Ariel

Been Seen at Lake Ariel.
Tony Long, the slayer of Patrolman
James Golden, of the Dunmore police
force, is still at large.
Reports from Binghamton say that
a man answering his description was
seen at Great Bend. Thursday, and
started towards the Parlor City. Moth
ing was seen of him there, and another
report came that he was rounded up
in the woods near Great Bend by a
posse of farmers and officers, but this
also later proved futile.
Yesterday afternoon the Dunmore
police were notified that an Italian of
medium height, with a heavy black
| moustache, and wearing a dark suit,
was seen at Lake Ariel. Patrolman
McGrail was dispatched to the lake,
but returned empty-hande.d
Since the shooting occurred Tuesday
night, men supposed to be Long have
been seen at Stroudsburg, Great Bend,
Lake Ariel, and here in the city itself.
A general opinion seems to prevail,
Notwithstanding, that Long has not
| left Dunmore, but is being carefully
| hid by some of his friends. A thorough
search has been made OF the houses OF
all Ol LOHS peISoHdl lTleuuS III lHe
| borough, but no traces of him can be
| found.
Petition for a writ of habeas corpus
to secure the release of Longs brother.
| Frank, was made to Judge Edwards
yesterday by Attorneys Taylor &
Lewis. August 20, at 2 o'clock p. m,
was fixed as the time for the hearing.
The burgess of Dunmore requests all
borough officials to meet at the bor-
Ough building tomorrow afternoon az
o'clock, to attend the funeral of officer
Golden. Carriages will be provided for
all officials connected in any way with
| the borough.
An inquest in the case will be con-
Quoted in the arbitration room of the
court house next Monday evening at 8
| o'clock.

without Authority.

The Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company recently applied for permit to
replace a pole in the alley in square 81 and
to erect guy pole on 24th street between
L and NJ The electrical engineer explained
to the Commissioners that the pole to be
removed stands within the west building
line of the said square, the telephone COM
pany desiring to replace 1t in order to re-
move wires which will interfere with
building about to be erected.
The matter was referred to Mr. A. B. Du-
vail, the attorney for the District, who has
advised the Commissioners that they are
without authority to grant the permit. The
point at which the new pole Is to be located
he states, is not an alley, but within the
lines of oath street By clause in the Dis
trict appropriation act, approved August 7,
1894 the Commissioners were empowered to
authorize the location and use of telephone
poles in the public alleys of the city This
authority, however, states Mr.. Duvall, is
expressly confined to alleys, and he is,
therefore, of the opinion that the Commits
sioners are not authorized to grant the per-
nit desired in this instance by the telephone
company

WnshfngtOnian Charged With En-
bez.lemenf in Richmond. Va.

The police received information Saturday
night of the arrest at Richmond. Va, of
Robert C. Ridgely of this city, where, it is
reported he is charged with embeZZlement.
1t is also alleged that he is wanted in Nor
folk. Va. as well as in this city. The pris-
oner is known in this city more Familiarity
as Charlie Ridgley. He is alleged to have
passed several forged checks in this city,
and a warrant for his arrest has been in
the hands of the detectives for several
weeks. He was at one time recognized as
one of the most successful drummers in
this section of the country. For a number
of years he was IN the employ of the whole
sale grocery firm OF Barbour & Hamilton
Several months ago he fell victim to
strong drink, and soon separated from his
wife and children who then lived at Ken
singtOn. 1t is alleged that he passed a

der him to the local police

Railway Schedule Criticised.

The attention Of the District Commits
slcDers has been invited by Mr. w. T NJ
Johnson to the Metropolitan railroad s
Cabin John bridge schedule. The last car
going west Of Georgetown, says Mr.. John
son. leaves the East Capitol street terminus
about II 80 at night and Georgetown at II
o'clock. and for that reason one who works
later than II: 80 must suffer by reason of
the cars not running. He is employed at
the Library of Congress and often works
until II o'clock, and finds that he can at
that time get car only to Georgetown,
and is therefore compelled to walk to the
new reservoir on the Conduit road. He does
not ask that the cars should run all night
but that the last should leave East
Capitol street terminus late as J.
o'clock.
Mr.. Johnson also complains that he has
often been delayed in coming to work by
reason Of the motormen refusing to stop
their cars at certain crossings on the line.
He says this is especially true in the even
ings.

OUTING WAS SUCCESSFUL.
District National Guard Pleased With
Experience at Gaithersburg.

District National GuaF0 Fle08CO Win
Experience at Gaithersburg.
The troops of the District of Columbia
National Guard, returning from their an
nual encampment at Gaithersburg, Nd. pa
raded through the city Saturday afternoon.
The line of march was from the New York
avenue station of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad along New York avenue to 18th
street, to Pennsylvania avenue, to It'll street.
In front of the Center Market armory where
the several organizations were dismissed.
The general impression was that the COM
mand made a most excellent appearance.
even though greatly fatigued because Of
their experience in the field.
The last section Of the special train came
to halt shortly after o'clock, and a few
minutes thereafter the column was in mo-
ton. Headed by the combined band and
corps OF field music. the brigade paraded in
columns of tours. in heavy marching order.
with blanket roll tin cups, haversacks, can
teens and other appurtenances. The pa
rade was viewed by throngs all along the
line of march.
Immediately prior to marching from the
grounds near Gaithersburg Gen. Harries
went through the camp and delivered
brief address to each company. He con-
graduated the men on the excellent work
that had been accomplished, and urged them
to continue their efforts. All who are in a
position to know declare unhesitatingly that
the outing was the most successful one in

TAX SALE SET ASIDE.
Opinion of Attorney DuvalI Respect
ing an AsSessmeut


The attorney for the District has advised
the Commissioners that the tax sales of
lots 10 and Il, Green's subdivision of Girls
Portion, should be set aside and the money
refunded, as recommended by the water
registrar. The tax the lots was on ac-
count of a water main laid in Brightwood
avenue between Military road and Aspen
street and was assessed August 10, 1895.
Under authority of the act of Congress of
June 2. 1900 the tax has been Cancelled and
reassessed.
The Commissioners legal adviser says
that while the act authorizing the cancella-
tion of this water main tax and its reas-
sessment is not as explicit in its terms as
might be desired, yet it was apparently in
tended to relieve the owners whose proper
ty had been assessed. He is therefore of
the opinion that the recommendation of the
water registrar should be adopted. He
holds that the act is to be construed as
to direct the cancellation of all such assess
ments for the laying of the water main on
Brlghtwood avenue as were at its date I'M
paid by the owners of the property.
