Washingto: Many Prominent Colored Men Presides Women Are Presen TUSKEGEE, Ala., February 24.—At the seventh annual negro conference, held in the Normal School Pavilion here, about 2,000 colored farmers, representing nearly every southern state, were present. With them were many prominent men and wo- men engaged in various branches of negro edycation. The meeting was enthusiastic. The speech of Bishop Grant of the A. M. E. Church was greatly appreciated. Booker T. Washington presided. To encourage gardening a free package of seeds was given to every one present. The result of the conference was the unanimous adoption of the following decla- rations: “Wherever our people have been reached by outside influences we believe there is constant growth in acquiring education, building school houses, extending the school term, developing Christian character, im- proving and purifying the ministry, se- curing land, diversifying crops, raising frult and poultry, replacing the one-room cabin, ceasing to mortgage crops, getting out of debt and living more economically. ’ “In saying this we would not be misun- derstood, but emphasize the fact that wherever the rank and file of our people have not been touched by some outside influence their condition as to property, education and morality is most unsatisfac- tory and will demand for a long time the earnest help and thought of the best peo- ple of our country. The possession in larger degree of the elements of strength enumerated above, we believe, will consti- tute the foundation for all the higher rights and privileges of citizenship which every race should enjoy. Since 85 per cent of our people in the gulf states live by agricul- ture, we strongly urge: that, along with other forms of education, special stress be laid upon training in agriculture. We earn- estly urge all to buy land, if only in small tracts, while it can be secured at a low price. We would especially call attention to the large amount of government land in the south open to settlement. We deem it of vital importance that the educated young men and women bear in mind that they owe it to the race to give to the most unfortunate the benefit of their education in every way possible. We urge that lo- cal negro conferences or other organiza- tions with the same object be formed throughout the south. We believe the hold. ing of annual county fairs would prove most helpful. We strongly beseech our people not to be satisfied with their pres- ent condition, but to reach forward to something higher and better.” The conference of educators will be held tomorrow. —_—_>———_. STRANGE CASE OF POISONING. Atlanta Family Made Sick by Burn- ing Thunderwood. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. ATLANTA, Ga., February 24.—The strang- €8t case of poisoning ever known in Atlanta is being investigated by a prominent gov- ernment official—Mr. V. K. Chestnut of the division of botany of the United States Ag- ricultural Department. Postmaster Smythe is assisting the Washington official. A stack of thunderwood burned in an open grate sent its poisonous fumes through the family room of Mr. L. S. McMullen, a well- known electrician, and for two weeks his family have been at the point of death, al- though they are very nearly well now. The poisoning was so strange and unusual as to be looked upon with disbelicf, but close medical examination has proved that the deadly thunderwood did the work. By some means the attention of the gov- ernment was directed to the case and its remarkable features led the officials to send a man to investigate. Thunderweod has always been regarded as the most »o0ison- ous species of forest wood. It is especially dangerous because of the fact that it is so similar to other varieties of trees that it can with difficulty be detected. A stick of the wood was by mistake mixed with Mr. McMullen’s supply of wood, and the acci- dental poisoning resulted. ——__ Gaithersburg Republica: Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. GAITHERSBURG, Md., Feb. 24, 1898. The Lincoln Republican Club held a spe- cial meeting Monday in Justice Baugh- man’s office. The meeting was a mosi en- thusiastic one.

Ellerbe Offers $500 for Arrest and Conviction. A dispatch from Columbia, S. C., last night says: As soon as he heard of the mur- der of Postmaster Fraser S. Baker, color- ed, and the latter’s child at Lake City, this state, Governor Elierbe offered a reward of $500 for the arrest and conviction of one or more of the murdering mob. “Every mem- ber of the mob should be hanged,” is the comment heard on all sides. There is in- tense indégnation. The bodies of Baker and his child were taken to their former home in Florence today. After being shot, they lay in the fiames that consumed their home. The story of Baker's wife confirms the first reports. She was awakened by the flames, and when her husband ran out he was shot dead. The same bullet that pierced her child's brain broke her arm. A shot in the leg brought her to the ground and she would have burned had not colored neighbors dragged her from the side of the buliding. Baker's son is severely wounded, having a bullet in the abdomen, besides a broken arm. The eldest daughter, Rosella, has a broken leg ani arm. The other wounded child was shot through the right hand. Colored people who made threats of ven- geance last night are quiet today. —__+e-_—_—_. SOBRAL AT CHARLESTON. f the Spanish Lega- Military Attache. Charleston News and Courier. When Lieut. Jose Sobral, a naval attache of the Spanish legation at Washington, came to Charleston in August last to make a secret investigation of the coast defenses it is doubtful if he expected that his visit would be reported to the War Department. He slipped into Charleston early one morn- ing and refused to go to a hotel and regis- ter his name, but went around on King street and got breakfast at a restaurant. ‘While eating he inquired of a colored wait- er the schedule of the boats running to Sul- livan’s Island. The waiter told him that one would leave in a few hours, and when the Sappho pulled out from the foot of Market street Sobral was on board. The only information he received was that the men were hurrying their work, and that Charleston could be property defended ‘when the fortifications were finished. ‘The Sappho tied up to her wharf at the island, and the Spaniard was among the first to go ashore. He looked around a few ie 7 fit a Batlle Hf i ili Ff i i ? ei HE i i if i Resi- McMillan. Senator McMillan, chairman of the Sen- ate committee on the District of Columb has rec d a communication from G! . Cooper. attorney for a property ow Columbia Heights, regarding the ward extension of the way: he siguatures of some of the property owners on Sherman avenue. north of lrv- ing street, were obtained to the petit requesting the extension to turn west street,” Mr. Cooper says it was stated to them th- Metropolitan rail- ™ “because that unless they signed the petition in that shape no exten- sion at all would. be made. The parties getting up that petition reside on or near 13th street, and they unite with the rail- road company in the desire to get the road on 13th street. They informed me and cthers that the engineer of the Metropoli- tan Railroad Company had reported against the practicability of Sherman ave- nue as a route, because the intersecting streets when paved and guttered would throw such a quantity of water into Sher- man avenue sewer that {it would burst the sewer and the electric conduit of the rail- road would thus be flooded. I have good reason to believe that the wish of the railroad company to get west to I3th street was the parent of this engineer's report. The grade of Sherman avenue is slight, and yet the fall is rapid enough to carry off an immense volume of ‘water with the present sewer, but If an additional sewer is needed it will be put down whether the railroad is there or not, and if the railroad is there it will get the protection it says will be needed. The railroad company 1s short sighted. It is looking only to pres- ent demands. The Holmead addition is building up rapidly, and in a few years from 7th to 14th streets will be aimost solidly built up, and then Holmead and that section will be without a direct down- town road. If this road is extended the building there will be of a most extensive character next year. The natural and only route which should be approved is from Sherman to Lydecker and thence west to Mount Pleasant, and, if they choose, then to their 18th street extension. In this mat- ter the Metropolitan has sat still until the Mount Pleasant people have gotten the Capital Traction to apply for tts tension to accommodate Mount Ple and now they oppose that extensi if they wanted that field they should have been awake a year ago, and not turn a cold shoulder on those who for years have been trying to get them to go out Sher- man avenue to Lydecker and across to Mount Pleasant. “If the Mctropolitan still refuses to go up Sherman to Lydecker, then we re- Spectfully ask that this franchise be gi to the llth street line, and when the M Topolitan opposes it tell them that they de- clined it once, and you will not give them @ second chance OF ey any attention to their opposition to ethers, and they may rely on it that others will be glad to «et into section disci ssed “The grade of Sherman avenue ts invit- ing all heavy hauling. Builders will tell you that the wagons can haul one-fourth more load up Shcrman than up 7th or i4th streets.” m Bureau Overruled in Several Cases, Webster Davis, assistant secretary of the interior, has reversed the ection of the pension bureau in the following ment). «4 cases: Claim of Susan, widow of Henry MeMor- row, late Company B, 2d United States In- fantry. Claim of Hila Glidden, mother of John 1 Glidden, d2ceased, late of Company F, 38th New York Infantry. This soldier died from suicide due to insanity, and the medical referee recommends special examination to determine connection bewween insasity and pensioned causes, chronic diarrhoea and re- sultiig piles, which recommendation is ap- proved. The claim of Loren L. Loveland, late Company C, 188th New York Infaniry. Claim of Ja M. Miller, iat? Company I, 18th Pennsylvania Volunteer Cava!ry. In this claim the claimant applies for a pension under the act of June 1sy0, on account of fracture of left leg, causing disability, which prevents him from earn- ing @ support. The claim was rejected by the pension bureau on the ground of vicious habits. The assistant secretary holds that: “It is not enough that the evidence saows that the claimant was in the habit of go- ing on periodical sprees. Ii mus own, satisfactorily, that he was actua! the influence of liquor at the time he re- celved the injury to such a degree as that he was urabl2 to take erdinary care cf his person before it can be accepted as an es- tablished fact that the injury for which pension is claimed is due to vicious havits and becomes a bar to pension.

The orders were is- sued several days ago, with instructions that they be kept 2 profound secret. The officers avere instructed to have their men ready to march fully armed and equipped at_ twenty-four hours’ notice. Neither officers nor men will talk of the preparations that are going on, because, they say, it is against military regulations: but the work of recruiting men, inspecting arms and ammunition and the general air of activity at the different armories speaks for itself. The National Guard of Pennsylvania com- prises nearly 9,000 men. ——_~e-__. Naval Reserve Offers Its Service.
