THE WRONGS OF THEIR RACE. A Meeting of Colored Men to Protest Against Southern Outrages. ‘There was a largely attended meeting of the Philomathian literary society, a well-known colored organization, held last evening at Gal- Dbraith church, near the corner of 6th and L streets northwest. President W. C. Chase of the society stated that the object of the meet- ings was to denounce the outrages perpetrated upon colored people in the south. Letters of regret were read from Messrs. A. M. Ciapp, E.W. Whitaker and H. L. Swords, Messrs. Bruce, FREDERICK CITY AND COUNTY. near Flint Hill, this county, were left alone in the house by their grandparents Saturday and attempted to starts fire in the stove with the contents of a coal oil can, the result being an explosion that threw the blazing oil over both the children, burning them so that they both They were aged six and nine years, respectively. Simmons and Cheshire were appointed a com- came off mittee on resolutions. MR. FOX'S SPEECH. Mr. E. W. Fox, of the Press, was introduced. In his speech Mr. Fox said many of the lead- ing newspapers in the country that only a few years ago denied that there were any outrages perpetrated now admit the truth of such out- rages. The speaker suggested that emigration was a means of bringing the colored people of the south to the level where they belong. The new states in the northwest are exten in- vitations to settlers and are paying pretty fair wages. “Why not guide them then to such places,” said the speaker, ‘‘where they can ac- cumulate money and property and hold it as their own.” THE RESOLUTIONS. The committee on resolutions reported reso- Tntions setting forth “That we denounce in the most emphatic manner the killing of colored men, women, and children in the south as un- lawful, inhuman, and Poanireoyer 7 a That the recent ‘h of Senator Gibbs of Georgia was not ‘only cruel and venomous, but unjustifiable, and merits the contempt and condemnation of all honest and fair-minded men. That if Con- gress has the right And power to make a law to protect citizens in their rights it also has the power to enforce thesame, That as Ameri- cans we demand the right to choose our own rulers, and call upon ident Harrison, as the Chief Executive, to tr el us in our life, liberty, and pro} te ‘hat we congratulate Gor. D. G. Fowle of North Carolina and all other governors who have manfully declared against the lynching and shooting of our ¥ oo ple. That we most earnestly entreat and de- mand of Congress, and particularly the repub- lican party, the of the Plame odace- tional bill, which been passed three times by the United States Senate, to the end that by a general diffusion of education the illiteracy of the country, which is the chief source of dan- ger to human rights within our borders, may be removed.” It was resolved also “Thata copy of the reso- lutions be presented to the President,” DR, TOWNSEND'S EXPERIENCE. Dr. J. M. Townsend of the general land office made an address, Referring to his own expe- rience in the south he said that three times at- tempts had been made to klu-klux him. He said a colored man had advised him not to ad- dress the meeting because he was an office holder and might jeopardize his office. ~‘If the man had known to whom he was talking he would never have said what he did,” continued the speaker. “Like Moses, I would rather suffer the afflictions of my people than hold oftice fora season. If there is a man whom I despise and love to hate it is just such a person as that man; it isa negro who is trying to get away from his race.” Here Mr. Townsend, after reading a speech made by Senator Gibbs before the Georgia legislature. denounced the senator's state- ments as untruthful. “Tell me about your universal liberty,” continued the speaker, “there is no such thing as that except for the white man. Long ago the civil rights bill was virtually declared unconstitutional by the Su- reme Court and I suppose that the prayers we biter for our advancement will also be declared 80. “These outrages we have been talking about are committed by the ‘cracker element’ or, as we used to know them. ‘poor white trash.’ am tired of fighting for a flag that does not otect me pow that the war is over, and if it jon't take better care of me than it has the wars may rage but I will remain at home and look after my wife and little ones.” Loud applause and cries of “that’s right” followed. DOES NOT WANT TO MOVE. Richard Laws, who was the next speaker, advised his race to go nowhere, but to remain jast where they are. MR. CARSON AND MR. DOUGLASS. P. H. Carson was limited to a five minutes speech. He referred to Mr. Frederick Doug- lass as the leader of the colored race, and thought that every colored person in the District should be at the navy yard Friday morning to give him a send off. “Why, if old man Douglass was here tonight he would make the wilds ring,” said Mr. Car- fon. een ~ ae a colored sople the passage of the Blai caver rascieen any education,” he said, “and if I was like some who did I am glad that I didn’t.” . To SEE THE PRESIDENT. The following committee was appointed to present the resolutions to President Harrison: Rev. J. M. Townsend, W. B. Johnaon, C. W. Fitzhugh, P. H. Carson and T. T. Simmons, Addresses were made by Revs. W. B. Johnson, 8. W. Lee and others. COMMENDING JUDGE MILLER. During the meeting Secretary Sumpson read an article from last evening’s Stam concerning Judge Miller's remarks about the negro and highly commended the judge as a friend of the colored race, Claims Against Pennsylvania Soldiers A dispatch from Harrisburg states that Bumerous claims against the Pennsylvania militia who came to the inauguration in March are being pressed against the state by Wash- ington people. These ciaims are almost all in consequence of pranks and tricks done by the men to relieve the monotony of barrack life in rainy weather. The dispatch says: “Five claims followed the last visit of the troops to the national capital. Two of these, for amounts Jess than $100 each, have been allowed. Milton Miller received $50 and Mrs. Kate Burming- ham $75. The latter had a cart containing pies and doughnuts, which some of the soldiers appropriated. Several derogatory stories con- cerni the soldiers reached headquarters here, but investigation proved them to be with- out foundation, A few weeks ago three or four lawyers, representing various Washington claimants, apy d before Auditor General McCamant and presented the cases of their client.

At the breaking out of the war her husband was an ardent southerner. She favored the Union, as did those of her children old enough to under- stand the matter. Finally the eldest son,Harry, jomedthe Union army. His angry father swore he would kill the tirst Yankee soldier he saw. In 196] a squad of eighteen Union soldiers stopped in front of his house. The lieutenant, not thinking of danger, climbed upon the fence and sat down. Pierson shot him dead. In re- venge the soldiers killed Pierson and three of his children. The son Harry was killed in battle, The mother, with several children, has lived in poverty until now. She is seventy- five years old. The pension is on account of her son Harry's deat! ———se9e——___.

United Brethren Who are Disunited in @ Church Quarrel. ¢ Suits for assault and battery filed in the court of Franklin county, Pa, have brought to light some of the details of a long and bitter contest between rival factions of the United Brethren church of Greencastle, and also of & hamlet called Clay’s Hill, which culminated last Sunday in s bloody fight in the church building at Greencastle. This borough isa quiet one, lying on the Cumberland Valley railroad, half way between Chambersburg and Hagerstown. The place has an excellent old frame church, in which the United Brethren have been worshiping for along time. The ‘tion numbers some hundred odd and until the last few months everything seems to have gone along smoothly. Finally the United Brethren became disunited over some trivial matter and the result arte — the faction busincss,an: an “radicals” were the outcome. Rev. Mr. Keiter was chosen to take charge of the spiritual affairs of the radicals and the Rev. Mr. Schliechter was selected to perform similar offices for the liberals. Several weeks ago the radicals secured session of the keys to the church building aud since that time there has been a lively contest on the of the liberals to secure them. Peaceful methods failed utterly, so moral sua- sion was dropped, and one’ ago @ consulta~ tion was held by the liberals to devise ways and means of securing the structure. It was finally decided that as on means about nine points in law they should enter the church and remain there until service was over, thus secure control and keep their antagonists from holding services. Saturday ~— eight liber- als, all grown men, removed the strips of one of the windows and crawled in. They had brought no lanterus for fear of being detected, 80 they decided to wait until daylight and then barricade the doors and thus keep out the radicals, who had the keys, Liberals were to be allowed entrance through the window. After the excitement of breaking into the church had subsided the members went to sleep, ex- odo to awaken at daylight and block the loors, BLACK EYES AND BLEEDING NOSES. They slept so soundly on the wooden pews that when an advance guard of the radicals ap- d on the scene at 8 o’clock they were still asleep. The radicals—about fifteen of them— unlocked the doors and entered. They were astounded fora moment and one man made such a noise that the sleepers were awakened. A short and bitter parley was held, ending in the radicals ordering the liberals out of the church. Finally two radicals caught hold of the arms of a liberal and shoved him toward a door, Then came a struggle which lasted fully fifteen minutes, Both sides were making their final contest and they fought for all there was init. The liberals were outnumbered, but they fought bravely and well. Several were knocked down and the radicals were literally thrown bodily out through the open doors, Almost every man engaged in the tussle was imaged more or less and there were more than a dozen blackened eyes and bleeding noses, while bruised faces and bodies and torn clothes were numerous. Now the court is asked to decide ‘who is who and what is what." The | radicals are sued for assault and batiery and the liberals are sued for malicious mischief. At Clay Hill the liberals are the victors. The radicals culled a meeting on Sunday week, but when Mr. Peter Nichlas of Chambersburg went there to say encouraging words to his followers and tell them of the victory won from the pp position at Greencastle he found that the li erals had securely barricaded all the doors and windows of the church building. He had his flock with him and there was many an ill word suppressed. The radicals were submissive and made no effort to gain an entrance. Following their leader, they repaired to the house of a neighboring farmer, where, from the porch, Mr. Nichlas led the service without being in- terrupted. The outcome of the trouble cannot be con- jectured and each faction 1s awaiting the 1e- cision of the court. Se A Stock Transfer at the Pistol’s Mouth. Otto F, Oberbeck was, until recently, mana- ger of the National Druggist of St. Louis, in | which J. Cliff Richardson, a well-known whole- sale druggist, was the principal stockholder. Richardson sold his stock in the paper to @ syndicate and the change of ownership threw Oberbeck out of the office of manager. He held tweuty-five shares of the company. Ober- beck concluded to make Richardson purchase his stock, He visited the office of the Richard- son-Taylor drag company in company with a friend named Hoagland. “I want you to give me $750 for my stock,” he said to Richardson. Richardson offered to sell the stock for him, but Oberbeck said, “write me outa check for $500 and I will give you the stock. I will not pat up with this any longer; give me the check, : lo you hear? or you will torce me to use vio- lence,” | Oberbeck threw his hand back and held it on | the butt of a revolver. Hoagland was armed, too, Dr Taylor of the drug company, stood by. Richardson wrote the check for $500 and handed it to Oberbeck, who started out of the office, ——_-—_-+e0_ Ferd. Ward a Printer. Ferd. Ward has taken another step upward in prison life. He has risen to the dignity of being classed asa steam-job printer. His little printing office in Sing Sing prison has recently been equipped with an addition to the plant in the shape of a halt-medium Gordon press. It is run by steam power, a bely being attached to the shafting which runs the sewing machines in the clothing shop overhead. Ward is highly pleased with his acquisition, and spends muc! time in polishing it up. Heretofore he has done all his work on a little amateur treadle | sheer When he had a job which was too large for the size of the press he used to work it off by ingeniously printing part of it ata time, | Practical printers who have visited the institu- tion have wondered how he did some of the work, the lines being joined together so accu- rately. His new press allows him to print the largest blank required in the prison without trouble. He has beh very much in his style of printing lately, turning out work with & professional finish. He had a razzle-dazzle idea of punctuation when he first started at work for the state of New York, but he can now stick periods, commas and exclamation points in their proper places, 7 Moving in the Army. It may not be generally known, writes the widow of Gen, Custer in a recent letter, that it is the policy of the government to give each regiment five years’ tour of duty in a depart- ment. Circumstances change it to two year: and, even after a yeur in one territory, unex: pores orders transfer troops to the Gulf af lexico or Culfornia, perhaps. A young army woman holding up her rosy-tipped fingers to tell off the stations in w! she has lived, finds, even when she is but a new campaigner, that her fingers give out in keeping tally.

Quiet Leicester Treated to an Exhibi- tion of Cycling by American Girls. Leicester Special to New York Herald, Sept. 21. On the Belgrave road track this afternoon a bevy of lady cyclists from the other side of the Atlantic made their first curtsey to the British public, They came over recently in the Ger- manic, and having gone through an arduous, if brief course of training, came to the post in capital condition for racing. The party com- prises Miss Habla Stanley of New York, Miss Jessie Woods of Philadelphia, Mlle. Louise Armaindo, a French Canadian, Miss Lillie Wil- liams of Omaha and Miss Mary Allen of Pitts- burg. The costumes worn by the ladies were varied and elegant, but yet in good taste, and the perfectly easy manner in which they sit in the saddle compares favorably with many pro- fessional men. ACCIDENTALLY POISONED. There was a large attendance, but the public were disappointed at the non-appearance of Miss Armaindo, America’s fair champion, who, to Manager Eck, was inadvertently oivoned at Long Eaton on Friday night ough taking the wrong medicine She is now lying very ill. The other four gave Pretty expositions of spirited wheel racing and came in for loud plaudits, In the final circuit of the one mile scratch race Miss Stanley and Miss Wood unfortunately collided, but, although badly shaken neither was seriously hurt. It had the effect, however, of spoiling what looked like becoming a tremendous finish, In the half mile race, run on the American trotting principle, Miss Allen, from the 75 yards mark, eat Miss Williams and won. Three of the ladies started for the five-mile scratch, which Miss Stanley won in exend style. Pope Leo’s Successor. Naples Letter to the London Daily News. ‘The frequent attacks of illness to which the pope is now subject have given rise in Rome to many conjectures as to the future pontiff. A correspondent of the Roma, who signs himself “F. G.,” and appears to be well-informed, has written two articles, in which,after eliminating some eminent cardinals as impossible,he shows why it is probable that Cardinal Maria Paroc- chi, the vicar general, a man of iron will and clear aims, and comparatively young, having been born in 1833, is likely to become the cessor of Leo XIII. As simple bishop of Ma tua he boldly espoused ae. jesuit cause durin, the struggle between that body and the liber: Lombard clergy. When the mild archbishop of Milan was opposing the priests of the (s- servatore Cattolioo it was with the latter Paroc- chi sided, with all his wonted energy. He was removed from Mantua to Pavia, but the latter post was too little suited to the militant prelate. He was then nominated archbishop of Bologna, but to this appointment the Italian government objected, and Parocchi resigned and went to Rome. There he was received with open arms by the vatican, though not at first by the pope, who would not willingly accept the fiery and rest- But when the celebrated change in the pope’s opinions took place Pa- rocchi’s fortune was made. Leo XIII elected him to be his vicar general and gave him the most powerful position, next to his own, and the man who could not be archbishop of Bo- logna was made bishop of Rome. From that moment the affairs of the vatican were confided | Partly to Cardinal Rampollo del Tindaro and partly to Lucido Maria Parocchi, who very soon made his influence felt. At present the organization of the church is exclusively in his hands. An infinite legion of priests depend upon his nod. Even the underlings fear him, and if they protest he suspends them. In the eventuality of a conclave the vicar general en- joys perfect supremacy. He will try to attract to himself all the proudly conservative ele- ments of the sacred college, the “black” party among the cardinals, who already consider his election certain, ———_-_ $299 ___ A Sensational Divorce Case. Wilmington, Del., witnesses a case of mis- guided affection in the revelations made by the divorce of James McComb from his wife. McComb is the millionaire son of the late Henry C. McComb. His determination to secure a divorce from his wife was announced some time ago, but shortly afterward it was given out that to avoid a scandal a contract had been entered into between the young millionaireand his wife by which she was to be liberally pro- vided for and give up her children, with the understanding, however, that she could see them at any time, This agreement was really entered into, but before its ig pregeid and exe- eution Mrs. McComb changed her mind and ap- parently has determined to fight the matter in the courts, with the idea of securing a better financial allowance than had been offered by the terms of the contract. The petition names a former conductor of the Philadelphia, Wil- mington and Baltimore railroad as co-respond- ent. He has, since the matter was first an- nounced, been laid off from duty at the re- quest of Mr. McComb, who is a stockholder in the corporation. Mrs. McComb was the daugh- ter of a policeman named Wingate, who was on the force when the young millionaire wooed and wedded the daughter, She was a bright, comely girl, and McComlfell in love with her retty face. She was socially far beneath her lover's family, who bitterly opposed the match, but the lad, accustomed to his own way, per- sisted in marrying the girl of his choice. His family tried to make the best of it and paved the way for the bride’s social advancement, but the road was not to her liking and she soon gave up all social ambitions, preferring the friends of her childhood-to those of her hus- band’s family. —*—__+e«e______ Marshal Nagle’s Ready Gun. From the Chicago Herald. “Yes, I know Deputy Marshal Nagle, who killed Judge Terry, as wellas I know anybody,” said ex-Alderman Martin Joyce of Tombstone, Ariz,, the other day. “There has been a good deal of nonsense written about Nagle. Of course he did right in the Terry matter, but for all that I don’t think, nor does any of us think down in Tombstone, that he ought to be made a hero of. Dave Nagle was not near the holy terror to the roughs and toughs of that region that his friends are trying to make out. I see it is claimed for Nagle that while he was the chief of police of Tombstone he drove out the famous Earp brothers from that place. ‘That is nonsense. Nagle would no more dare tackle an Earp than he would tackle the devil himself. He was a ready man with his gun—a little too ready, in fact, You know down our way a man with a gun is supposed to give the other fellow a chance, and if he gets he drop on him he is not supposed to kill so long #3 the other fellow has his hands up. Nagis was known down there as a tellow who nevei took chances. He never'd care whether a man was armed or not—if he had the reputatlon of being tough Nagle would shoot him. The only man he ever killed outright, however, was a thieving Mexican who was sneskin’ off in the bush to es- cape arrest. Nagle shot him in the back. That act got the boys in Tombstone down on him and we forced him to resign his ottice as chief of police, and not long after he left town. How he ever got an appointment as deputy marshal under the government I don’t know. He couldn't have got it down in Arizona. Yes, Nagle is a quick and good shot—but then that’s nothing down in our country. We're all good shots. When aman our way undertakes to carry a he’s supposed to know how to it. If he doesn’t his gun’ll be mighty little to him.” ——-—-2e0-__ Ridden Over by a Regiment. Berlin Dispatch to London Standard.
