The Building Trades Council met last
night at Costelio's Hall with the Vice
President, John Fitzgerald, in the chair.
There were representatives. in the capac-
ity of delegates, present from eleven
unions.
The attention of the meeting was called
to the action taken last Tuesday night
when the council was adjourned sine die.
by the reading of letter from FL. w.
Steinbiss, secretary treasurer OF the Ma
tional Building Trades Council, in re-
spoase to one sent him by George ]. Su-
ter, treasurer of the local council. Mr..
Steinbiss stated that he was greatly sur
prised to learn Of the action, especially as
it was taken by delegates who had re-
ceived no instructions from their indi-
vidual unions on the matter. The ad-
journing of the Building Trades Council,
he said, was Illegal and unreasonable. and
he will be surprised If the organizations
affiliated with the council accept such ac-
ton as final. To abolish the Building
Trades Council at this time, Mr.. Steinbiss
declared would be a crime against or
ganized labor.
After this letter had been read a mo-
tion was made TO declare the Offices OF
President and Secretary of the Building
Trades Council vacant. The motion was
adopted unanimously and an election TO
fII these offices was held Immediately,
and resulted in the choice OF John Fitz-
gerald. as president. and Charles f. Boss
secretary. The vacancy caused by the
election Of Mr.. Fitzgerald to the presi-
dency was filed by the election Of Charles
Sanford.
The unions represented at the meeting
were: The Plssterers. Stone Cutters. Car
peuters No /, Hod Carriers Nos. l and
2 Timers. Steamftters' Helpers. Eleetri-
cal Workers, Tile Layers, and Paper
Hangers.
A committee representing Painters As
sembiy No. 1T9s, Knights OF Labor. were
given an audience. The visitors wanted
10 know why the council had heretofore
discriminated against their organization.
which is a legitimate building trade, and
refused il admission to membership. II
was explained that by the authority OF the
action OF the council. as shown by the
minutes, admittance had some time ago
been refused TO a knight of Labor assem-
bly. and such had always been held 10 De
| the sentiment Of the organization.
On motion the minute referred to, was
| stricken from the records of the council
| II is probable ttat the painters will now
apply for admission TO membership.

The most important organs in the hu-

EAST WASHINGTON AFFAIRS.
The Citizens Association Discusses
Matters of Importance.

A special meeting of the East Washing
ton Citizens Association was held last
night at s O'Clock at Baums Hall, Fourth
and East Capitol Streets. to consider sub
iects OF telephones, is:is. workhouse.
almshouse. and a report from the Commit
tee on Schools.
A resolution on the subject OF telephones
adopted at previous meeting was re-
affirmed. in which the opinion was express
ed that the telephone rates were excessive
and that the telephone service should be
under municipal control. The assOcia-
tion favored the introduction into the Dis
trict of any competing company, fair in
its character and methods. whose franchise
should provide that il shall continue in
business ten years. during which time the
rates shall not be raised or the character
of the service impaired.
The Committee on Schools has had Tn
der advisement the proposed amendment
to the District Appropriation bill and Of
fered a report to amend its provisions.
which was adopted. The committee found
1t desirable that the School Board should
have full authority given it for control of
the public schools. and should consist OF
eleven members one from each school dis
trict. who shall reside in the district from
which he is appointed. and that these
trustees should be appointed by the Dis
trict Commissioners instead of by the
President, and that 5000 per aDnum would
be sufficient compensation for this service
and preferable to an excessive amount.
The suggestions of the Board Of Trade
on the subject of the jail. workhouse, and
almshouse. submitted to the association
for cooperation, were approved. These
provided for the ultimate removal of the
Jail, workhouse, and almshouse to separ-
ate sites, adapted to their needs, and for
a separate administration of the three in
StitutionS.
A resolution offered by y. G. Ordway
was adopted, directing that a committee Of
seven be appointed to present the claims
of the eastern section of the city to rep
| resentation upon the Board of District
Commissioners, all of the present Com
missioners being residents of the western
section of the city.

CLICKING IN HIS HEAD.
The Peculiar Afiiction of n Nan in
California.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. April 4.-The
case of William II. Aswell, formerly in the
employ of the Southern Pacific Company,
has been puzzling the medical profession
for the last two years. Day and night it is
said. there comes from the head Of the af-
ficted man a sharp clicking sound similar
to that made by a telegraph key.
This sound can be heard seventy-fve
clicks and more a minute, and the noise
has often so increased in volume as TO be
heard at a distance Of sixty feet from the
patient. In the course of few days an
operation will be performed on the man >
head and then some light may be shed on
the mystery.
While Aswell was employed in the yards
of the Southern Pacific Company two years
ago in Sacramento a bug flew into his ear,
and from that time until the present the
clicking sound has always been with him.
He was taken to the Railroad Hospital
where the surgeons examined him. They
could give him no relief and the clicking
continued Aswell returned to his work.
but the noise was always with him. His
body has become very much emaciated. He
is now in the City and County Hospital. In
rainy weather the sound is said TO iu-
crease in speed and volume.

EMPoRIA LYNcHERs GO FREE.
The GreenesViIIe Grand Jury Fails
to Indict Them.

RICHMOND. Va, April 4.-The Emporia
lynchers go free so far as the action of the
grand jury of the County Court of Greenes-
willie is concerned. This body made its re-
port yesterday to the effect that it had no
indictments TO make. This announcement
caused little surprise to those who have
carefully followed up this case. After its
report Judge Goodwin discharged the
grand jury. Fourteen witnesses were eT-
smined before the body took recess for
dinner Among those before the grand
Jury was Judge S. d. Goodwin. who is
said to have witnessed a part OF the lynch

rnonwealth's Attorney Powell, who is act
ing for the prosecution, also went before

County Judge George P. Barhsm, who was
present during the Iynching and made
speech. WAS also a witness.
The announcement OF the report of this
body was il is stated. received without ap-
parent interest by the few spectators in

MUST MAINTAIN A FENCE.
The Allegheny Company. to BE Com
PEELED TO Keep Its Contract.

The Allegheny Company to BE Conn
PEELED TO Keep Its Contract.
The District Commissioners yesterday
informed the Secretary of the Allegheny
Company, which occupies ground adJacent
10 the James Creek Canal, that the fence
enclosing the property must be main
tanned in order IL not, after April 10, the
company is informed, steps will be taken
to enforce compliance with the Commits
sioners' directions
The point at issue. as stated in corre-
spondence between the District authorities
and the Allegheny Company, is that the
maintenance of the fence is provided for
in a lease by the Commissioners to George
F. Hun The Allegheny Company writes
that it is found impracticable to keep the
fence in repair and to supply the missing
parts. because of the vandalism of the
neighborhood. An instance is cited In
which a fire was started in the vicinity,
evidently with the intention of destroying
the fence.
The company also states in its own de-
fence that the fence maintained on the
original lines of the lease only anords a
harbor for tramps and coal thieves, and
permission was asked to change the fence
line to point fifty feet from the mouth OF
the Tiber sewer. This, the company as
serts, would afford ample protection to the
surroundings of the flushing gates and
would enable the man in charge OF the
gates to protect the fence, IL so author
lied and would enable the officers on their
beats TO observe what is going on In the
neighborhood.
Upon the recent of this communication
the matter was referred to the Auditor OF
the District, who made an investigation
and reported that the land in question is
along the line of a much-traveled street
and that without the protection OF a fence
il would be a constant and dangerous men
ace to the safety of the public. IL a strong
enclosure were built, the Auditor thought,
its maintenance under fair police protec-
tion would not seem an impossible task.
Such being the facts in the case. the
Auditor recommended that the company be
informed that it must repair and main
tain the fence according to the terms OF
the lease.
