The officer; thinking burglars might climbed « tree, so that he could look through the window. He then saw a colored man, but could not see the doctor. He then went to the house and tapped on the shutters with his ¢lub. The doctor came to the door and said he ‘was glad to see the officer, for he was at work on 8 colored man named Frank Brown, who had been shot and probably fatally wounded cor er Ww base of the ot dene ARTHUR BROWN'ARRESTED, The policeman then went with Officers Cut- ler, Simpson, and Crawford to the house of Ar- thur Brown, No, 482 12th street, in what is called “Chinch row.” y entered the house, en ee excited — onle. colored man, holding a revolver hand. stood near the door.

Then they had some angry words, and Frank picked up a lid of the stove to throw at him (Arthur), but it was too hot and he dropped it; that he then picked up a brick, which was on the floor, and threw it at .

He dodged the stone, and then a brick was thrown. Seeing that Frank meant to injure him he fired the pistol at him and went into the house.

President Hubbard’s Annual Address Before the Geographical Society. * Twelve gentlemen, clad in dress suits, faced a distinguished audience last night in the lecture-room of the Columbian university. They were President Gardiner G. Hubbard, of the National Geographic society, and his asso- ciates on the board of managers, Mr. Herbert G. Ogden, Gen. A, W. Greely, Prof. G. Browne Goode, Mr. O. H. Titt- man, Mr. C. A. Kenaston, Mr. W. B. Powell, Dr. C. Welling, and Mr. Chas. J. Bell. In addition to these there were on the platform Major J. W. Powell, Prof. 8. P. Langley, and Prof. A. Graham Bell. Vice-President Ogden was in the chair, and in calling the meeting to order he made a few brief remarks, and then. introduced the president of the society, who read his annual address, the subject being “Africa,” THE DARK CONTINENT. With considerable detail Mr. Hubbard sketched the great waterways of the continent, especial attention being paid to the Congo and its tributaries. In this he was assisted by Prof. A. Graham Bell, who followed the —— on a huge map of the Dark Continent. The grad- ual establishment of colonies in Africa by England, France, Italy, Germany. and Portugal was the next line of history elucidated by Mr. Hubbard. He showed how the businesslike ambition of all of these nations, with the ox- — of Portugal, was working toa mutual advantage. These European powers, said he, prefer to found colonies in Africa rather than ve their surplus population emigrate to America. In America they would be ealiveed up, and no particular benefits would acerte to the mother cou: boundless possibilities for mercantile growth— there were 200,000,000 of people there who needed everything—even clothes. Each of the colonial possessions was then described, and stress was laid on the great work done by Bel- gium in the Congo free state. A ae than ordinarily interesting division of the lecture was that devoted to religion in Africa. SUCCESS OF MAHOMEDAN MISSI The Mahomedan missionary’s influence was | said to be elevating and civilizing—the mis- sionary was one of the people—but the Christian missionary had not been a success, He is awhite man,a lord dnd master, who teaches a doctrine not easily understood, and although he has been faithful, even to the lay- ing down of his life, his labors have availed but little. The decadence of native arts and industries was touched upon, and the reason therefor was found in the fact that European traders could sell superior goods for less money, so the native indus: 6 pro- t have been pro- | s, for the conclusion thus drawn was applauded. THE SLAVE TRADE STILL FLOURISHING, Slavery statistics were quoted to show that to supply the American market with slaves no less than 20,000,000 of Africans were torn from their homes; a large percentage of them, how- ever, perished in transit. The slave trade with Persia, Arabia, and Mesopotamia, in fact, wherever the Mahomedan is found. is greater now than it ever was in the past. The trading on the Upper Nile, which was suppressed years | ago by Sir Samuel Baker, has been revived, and is more vigorous than’ before its suppres- sion. During the past twenty years more slaves have been exported than during any previous century. ; Hubbard gave Sengthy and ini f the modes of travel adopted by vans Ne rg expeditions and his respects to the natives, who hire themselves out for such trips, by saying that for ugliness, cupidity, stupidity, dishonesty, aad | wickedness they could 1 not be eqtaled er people c sun. “And,” added the lecturer, “these were the men.on whom Stanley had to depend.”. Mr. Hubbard ‘VERY HOPEFUL AS TO STANLEY'S SAFETY, and referred to the fact that Livingstone and Stanley himself had been lost to civilization for freedom and sla the gre the ‘world lind ever soon, bot there wet sessonable Sround for belief that the land from which the try, but in Africa there were | c¢ the green grass. not trouble them, nor did the doctors want them.

Bailey proved a faithful nurse, and when he died two years ago Z HIS WIDOW MOVED IN and took charge of the building. Thete are Bailey explained to the reporter were for the male and female patients r. ively. The smaller rooms were for the doc’ nurses and other ‘help. “Then,” said the widow, “you know there are some people called big bugs; they occupied separate rooms.” e bedsteads and bed-clo' which were used for the patients are still in the building. The bedsteads are in position, but the mat tresses, pillows and clothing are packed awa: ina room ready for use, should the dreade: disease ever again make its appearance in this city.

Then you would know what for.” She explained that almost every day some one came down before dark to look over pot- ter’s field. Then, as soon asit got dark, she said, two or three men woufd come in a wagon and aive down oe rough road to the foot of e en they would walk across, get the bodies and return. if a ‘How do you know that they get any bodies?” ‘i ate rm I eed one e.

AND WATCH THEM WORK. 1) They take a few shovels of dirt off the head of the grave and then sound the. coffin with a stick to see if there is anybody in it. If it sounds all right they break off coffin near the head and the body out with their hook. Then they come around by the house and put the body in the wagon and drive off. “And they are awful bold, too,” she con- tinued. “There's a man they call Bell who comes sometimes and brings a colored man with him.

When the reporter started to leave the build- ing the young man Taylor came out to tell more about the “night-doctors.” He pointed out the rough road over which he said the hen dae was driven. From the top of the hill the road looked im ble, but a close inspection revealed the tracks made by the wagon wheels, which looked as though ey might have been made pear L and | at the foot of the hill was seen where the wagon | had turned to goout. Taylor said that he sel- | dom went outa night because of the “night- | doctors” and “ghosts.” One night he said he was returning from the city when he met the | wagon coming up the hill. He did not think there was any danger so he started boldly od | it. When he got up to the bata aoe he said: ‘The Lord knows they made a break at me and I had to run to getaway. Since then I stay in the | house at night.” Taylor said that he told a oliceman about the robbers one night, but he thought from the way the officer acted that he was just as afraid of them ashe (Taylor) was. “J tell you, he added, “this is a mighty lone- some place at night.” Some one threw a dynamite bomb into the company’s foun yesterday morning.
