The extensive public and private improve
ments now being carried on In this District has
created an iinu?uai demand foi sand, a large
(panty being daily used tor the pHMM ot
paving; and tliis large demand has induced a
numt?r of enterprising nu n to embark in the
business of procuring it. The best qualities are
obtained in the Eastern Branch, which is termed
by the trade Bladensburg sand. For paving pur.
posts, the sand obtained from the river ttats is in

of the cltv, wherever wanted.
Yesterday a meeting of some fifty of these
rand dealer* was called at the above-named
wharf, in open air, and organized with Mr.
Benedict Hutchins as president, and Jobn Berry
secretary. Tlie chairman stated the object of
the call b be tor mutual protection ot the deal
i: who, he said, were being fleeced by con
tractor*. He did not suppose there was a dealer
present but who had bills owiug them by con
tractors, builder* and plasterers. The object
was to make seme arrangi m< nts by which every
<>ne could get his just dues. The'names of all
these

should be entered in a black book, so that all
the dealers may know them; anal it mn>t be
agreed upon by all not to sell them a load of sand
unless they pay up. or make satisfactory ar
rangement* with the association.
Permanent organization was then effect. <1
with Mr. B. Hutchins as president, and Mr.
Jobn Kerry as secretary.
Mr. Davis moved that each dealer report the
names of parties who owe long-standing account*
for sand to the secretary, whose duty It shall be
to keep a list where it may be accessible to all;

Mr. Henry Lyles moved that a committee of
three be *p|<ointed to draft a constitution and
by-laws; carried, ami the chair appointed Mean.
Davis, Lyles and Russell for that duty.

is being done; and to a*k the interposition of the

might be done to some. He made a motion to
that effect, which was carried, and Messrs. Lyles,
Ryan and Rujsell were appointed.
The ttxiial of Mis* Bettie E. Lynch,

Mr. Champlin, of the district trustees, was
called to the chair, and a resolution of esteem
and respect for the deceased were passed, and

follow ing is the resolution adopted:
That by the death of Mis* Bettie E.
Lynch, the teacheht of the Fourth school district
have lost an esteemed friend and companion,
and the public schools of Washington a zealous
and ttficlent teacher, endeared to us by many
qualities of mind and heart that ennoble the
profession to which her young life has been de
voted, and in the midst of whoee active duties
she h?? been so suddenly and prematurely taken
ficm us. We tender to her family and friend*
in this sad hour cf ailiiction our sincere sympa
thy, and we invite them to share with us the
consolation afforded by the remembrance that
her g? ntle spirit early "drew near unto Chriat;"
that her character was full of Christian graces,
lll'-?trated by devotion to her God, her home,
and to the children given to her charge daily
here with n.?, and in the Sabbath school.

The Tih district republican club met last night,
^m. A. Freeman, president, tn the chair, and
elected V m. H. Levis vice president of tbeclub,
vice T. C. Smart, no longer a resident or the
district. Wm. A. Freeman, John Johnson, ""I
John E. Clarke were elected members of the
central republican committee. The club then
rtMhrd itself into a ma>p meeting, for the pur
pose of nominating a candidate for the House of
I>elej{?tei?, M m. A. Freeman in the chair, and
(has. H. Fish secretary. Cornelius Clarke nom
inated Jamea A. Handy as candidate foi dele
gate. General applause followed, and Henry
Lacy ottered several resolutions highly compli
ment.ng Mr. Handy for the interest he Las
always evinced in tie welfare of the taboring
m< n, and declaring him the choice of the repub
licans of the 7th legislative district for re
election; which were adopted uiianiniouslv.
Henry Lacy, Alfred Parker and John F. Cooke
were apfointed to wait upon Mr. Handy and
notify him of his nomination. During the ab
sence of the committee Cornelius Clarke offered
a resolution, which was adopted, recommending
Danie 1 G. Muse lor the position of secretary to
the Poard of Public Works. A few minuter
later Mr Handy appeared on the platform, and
was received with loud applause. He returned
thanks for the renewal of taelr confidence in re
nt initiating him as their candidate. One of the
most imioitant subjects at the next election, he
said, is the loan bill measure, which has been
severely criticised. The object of it is to bring
life, labor, and capital to this Territory. For
merly the streets w ere not even good roads, but
this bill proposes to build up these places, and
make this a beautiful city. The question is
whether the laboring men shall live here with
their families or seek employment elsewhere, as
w ill be the case if this loan \>ill is defeated. He
had voted tor the bill giving per day for eight
hours work, and that ought to show bis position
on that measure. The executive committee was
directed to confer with the committees of the
other clubs in the old first ward in regard to a
joint mass meeting of the clubs to be hel.l
before the election. The meeting, which was a
vctv orderly one, adjourned with cheers for
Handy.

Continuation of the War In the Tw?n
tj-ilmt IMsiriek
A meeting ot the Twenty-first district repub
lican club was held last evening at Gehrung's
Military Hall, and was very largely attended.
Mr. G. W. Herbert presided, and Mr. O. M.
Barton officiated ?s secretary. Several parties
moved that the minutes of the previous meeting
be corrected so as to show that uth ers than voters
of the Twenty-first district had voted at that
meeting, and amid much confusion a squad of
police formed a cordon around the secretary's
table. Bill Brown charged that Mr. Hodgson at
the last meeting had
votiii roou-Horsx cokvicth,
and that he (Hodgson) was a democrat. Capt.
1* rita raiwd Hie point that the |HX)r-hou86 was
in his district, and the inmates voters. Here
the confusion was so great that no two consecu
tive words could be heard from any one speaker,
and the chairman used both ends of his heavy
walking-stick in unavailing effort* to rap the
meeting to order. Prof. Green was finally re
cognized, and proceeded to make a point of
order; but, being ruled out of order, subsided by
saying his name had been used without au
thority, and he had evidence that his name was
w ithdrawn before the ballot commenced. Im
mense confusion here prevailed, during which
Vedder and Mose Bradshaw attempted to back
up Prof. Green's statement. In the midst of the
confusion the previous question was ordered
and the amendments to the minutes rejected,
and as recorded they were adopted amid cries or
"gag," &c.
The Chair?Is the chairman of the executive
committee present?
Mr. Davis.?I would like to?
Bill Brown?Frits, you had It
CfT ABD DBIKD,
bnt we will cut and dry you, election day.
Here every one seemed anxious to si>eak his
little piece, and W. C. Marshall, formerly presi
dent of the club, who has an extraordinary loud
voice, succeeded in making himself hearl
Brown urging his friends to keep order, as thev
would now hear a gentleman. Marshall charged
that those who had made a nomination outside
the hall had no right to be at this meeting.
[Great confusion; Brown, Vedder. and others,
exclaiming'-Put us out, then," and Weems and
others, "Oh you wan't to make capital by it."]
They intend to run this meeting in behalf
[Davis?"Put us out,"] of Lemuel J? [Brad
shaw?"Hurrah for Green." Cheers and groat's
for Green, and cheers and groans for Buriley.]
The Chair.?Now gentlemen the next business
is a report of the executive committee.
Messrs. Davis and Mansfield was admitted to
the open spare in front of chair, and on behalf
of the committee reported a campaign com
mittee, as well as a scries of resolutions.
Brown made a i?oint that the statement of the
President was
rUTtn AKD JfAUCIOrSLY VALSK.
[Cries of question," Ac.]
Green made the point that to lay on the table
was out of order, as the chairman of the commit
tee had the right to defend the report.
The Chair (Mr. Campbell) "Motion to lie
on the table must be put."
Green?" Then I claim the floor on a privi
leged question."
The Chair?" No such question is in order."
Biown?" Oh! his conscience Is
AS BLACK AS H ?L,
and he will rule any way."
A Voice.?"Look out Brown, the police will
take yon."
Brorn?1" Oh! no cause, why they all know I
am a gentleman." [laughter.]
Tue motion to lay the report on the table was
put and carricd, amid cries of "division,"
44 tellers," cheers and groans.
Another scene of indescribable confusion en
sued. during which Weems offered a resolution
that the president appoint the finance and cam
paign committee*; and it was a<lopted. Darin?
1am. n'iss, Brown got very excited, and using the
words
u 1TIOCIR STEALING
towards the chairman (Mr. Campbell) or some
one else. Sergeant Teeple led him out.
Capt. Frit* offered a resolution declaring \f.
E. Marshall, Wm. Beron and G. H. McReynolds
m? rube rs of the central committee, which was
adopted, and cheers and groans followed each
other in quick succession, and It being apparent
that no further business could be transacted, a
motion to adjourn was adopted, and after a gen
eral hubbub the lights were put out, and the
audience dispersed.
Almost Asotiiee MrtPiR nv a Rkcelcss
Jmr?Last evening, about 5 o'clock, as a youth
named Cornelius Sullivan was standing at the
comer of 2d and H streets northeast, he was run
over by a large stone wagon driven by a careless
driver. His skull was fractured, one leg broken,
and he received Internal injuries. He was at
tended by Dr. Herbert. Hardly a week passes
that some child or aged person ts not run over by
reckless drivers in this city. Other people escape
by running for their lives. The cry always is
"{nobody to blame," but there is some one to
bunac. 'The law giving pedestrians the right of
way in the streets is disregarded every day.
Unless an example is made of a few or these
reckless drivers no person Is safe.

Residents an and about 8th street, between S

La bob akd Wages os District Wore?
Teste rdnv, at 3 o'clock, the committee apiwir.tod
l.y the Fifteenth District Republican Ciub to
wait upon the Board of Public Works to consult
with them in reference to paying the laborer*
on the public works #2 for eight hour*' labor
met at the office of Vice President Shepherd,
when the matter was broached In a general
conversational manner, during which Georg?>
11 at ton, a number of the committee, as?um-d
to had off.
Mr. Shepherd remarked that he did not desire
to have anything to say to liatton; that he had
denounced the Board of Public orks as thieves
and robbers on every public and nrivate occa
sion. anil it was prima facia evidence or bad
faith on his pait to come to treat or consult with
them, for if he believed them to be thieves he
conld not, if he assumed to be a geutleman,
hold communication with them, iiaitoii tln-re
tition subsided.
Mr. Warren Choate, as the spokesman, then
presented the wishes of the club, and Mr. Shep
herd replied that the Board of Public Works, the
Legislative Assembly, the Governor, and the
Workincicen's aswK-iations could not regulate
the price of labor; that in his opinion it would
regulate itself. If the supply was greater than
the demand the prlcc would go down, and If the
d< maud was greater than the supply the pri> e
wonid go up; that their labor unions could
accomplish very little, as by the system advo
cated the drones and shirks would receive as
much a? the most energetic and industrious
among them which would be unjust. He assured
the committee, however, that the board would
look as vigilantly to the interests of the laborers
as to those of the tax-pavers. They would revise
the pre s? nt srstem on the basis of paying the
men in the exact proportion of their value, so
far as their merits could be ascertained.
The committee expressed themselves entirely
sat'sfiod aith 'he proposition advanced by Mr.
Shepherd*, and retired.

was presented favoring the adoption of the con

respective merits of the two pavements, a vote
was taken which resulted in favor of the ma
cadamiring. A committee was then appointed
to wait upon the Board of Public Works and
exinrtss the sentiments of the meeting, and also
nrgr a change In the plan proposed by the
Board which is to have CO ?eet In the center
parked with a 30 foot roadway on either side

The properly holders propose to have the park

width, and the foot pavements to remain as now
20 feet wide.

and the kerosene lamp having been the origin
of the Chicago Are Is squelched by the affidavits
of the owners of the property, who swear that
there was no tire in the stable that night, and
that their cows were milked before dark. This
is unfortunate, for the isssoa taught by the sup
posed origin of the conflagration In connection
with kerosene might have been the means of
saving many a life by causing more care to be
used In handling the inflammable material.
The origin of the fire, therefore, still remains a
mystery.
Tbi Spibit op g*LP-SAC*r?icB on behalf of
he sufferers at Chicago has been shown store by
laborers, mechanics, and poor persons generally,
than by any other class. Not content with what
'.key have already endor*d, the Chicago firemen
and policemen now offer to submit to a reduc
tion of one fifth of their salaries. If the other city
and county offlctals will follow their example.
