THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1896. THE STABLEMAN GETS THE WORKS Rainey Has Junta Conven- tion Votes to Throw at the Birds. DR. RAGAN CHAIRMAN A Policeman Threw Out the Only McNab-Popper De_legate Who Peeped. EDDIE GRANEY RAN THINGS. The Convention Slowly Effected Per- manent Organization, Adjourning Uatil Friday. Rainey’s majority in the Junta’s muni- cipal convention, which began in Odd Fel'ows' Hall last night, was only 169. C. A. Reynolds, the Rainey-Lanigan candidate for temporary chairman, was elected by 869 votes, to 204 for Eugene N. Deuprey, the candidate of the combined anti-Rainey strength, bossed by McNab and Sullivan. Rainey’s triumph was 80 overwhelming that but one anti-Raineyite peeped during the entire evening, and he was thrown out by a policeman. From the time the Junta movement was rose on the floor a young man well known.” When he men- tioned C. A. Reynolds applanse came from the Rainey-Lanigan-anarchist element on the floor and in the galleries. . Osgood Putnam rose to put in the field arival. He named the candidate of the anti-Raineyites, Eugene N. Deuvreyv, the man who ruled that tumultuous Union all convention of two years ago with a hammer, a steel plate, a loud voice und a programme, and who appointed the Deu- grey committee, which gave birth to the unta a vear and a hali later. ‘“There are issues here to-night that are the same as those of two years ago, though n not so aggravated a form,” said Mr. Putnam, with Rainey’s work in the last municipal convention in his mind. “We want a man of firmness and boldness, who will stamp out, if need be, anything that stands behind the rail.” d spoke of Rubbed More Hair From His Head. have a right to come before this conven- tion and say that I, too, am a Democrat. ‘‘Gentiemen of the convention, the peo- ple of 8an Francisco are getting tired of latitudes and of promises unfulifilled. hat the people of San Francisco want is men, and the best platform you can pro- murlgate is a ticket of honest, straightfor- ward Democrats. I want to say tnatl will recognize every faction in every dis- trict in tie hope tgat m the future all Democrats will face one way and be no more opposed.”” John %‘ McGovern declined the nomina- tion for temvporary secretary and J. Saul- man was elected. On motion of George Gallagher the chairman named a committee on credeu- tials, and it turned out as follows: P. D. Mullaney, P. Lydon, L. J. Hurley, Joseph Goger, Jeremiah O’'Leary, John O’Donnell, Daniel O’Callaghan, John H. Grady, James H. Cahill, Thomas A. King, Joseph A. Lynch, Joseph H. Farren, Wil- liam Ackerson, John Mahoney, J. J. Mc- Gowan, William Abbott, V. de Andreas, J. O’Hara Cosgrave. An almost interminable recess followed, and when Chairman Reynolds finally called the meeting to order the only par- ticipation of the police in the proceedings followed. J. P. Devereaux, sergeant-at-arms of the State Central Committee, and a delegate were on the platform, itching to roast the chairman and the whole Rainey outfit. The chairman privately told Devereaux to take his seat with his delegation, but Devereaux proposed to go ahead with his roast. The crowd, however, hooted so loudly at the kicker on the platform that ne didn’t get a chance to say anythiug, and amid the hooting a policeman, sent by a Rainey lieutenant, jumped to the plat- form and ruthlessly grabbed Devereaux by the collar and hustled him savagely down the steps, down the isle and out into the night. Devereaux has been sergeant-at-arms of the Junta he adquarters and a humble but faithful follower of McNab and Sulli- van, who have bossed things up there. ‘Whatever the merits of the case, his igno- minious chucking out of the convention that Sam Rainey owns was a vivid illus- tration of the reyolution that has pulled down ana set up little political kings. The chairman appointed as sergeants-at- arms J. J. Kennedy, George Cashel, John McGuire, Joseph Byrne, George Bocher, Joseph Given, John Brennen, E. M. Dwyer. The report of the committee on creden- tials was approved and the following com- C. A. Reynolds Recites Democratic Family History. born Gavin McNab has always been at the front when anything was going on. For about a year he has named echair- men and committees, and at every meet- ing of every sort Mr. McNab has occupied a front seat, told the chairman what to do, bustled about steering his programme and made speeches of force and frequency. But nobody heard a word from Gavin McNab last night. The time for the Junta to really do something politically had come, and it was not McNab’s meeting. It was Eddie Greaney this time who hustled about, steering the programme and telling the chairman what to do. McNab sat in a corner and kept still. Chairman Sullivan called the convention to order, introduced Rainey’s chairman, and then he, too, went to a corner and quit. Max Popper, who didn’t know before- hand whether Rainey was really the boss or not, kept door at the start and then in disgust let the ‘‘push’” swarm in at its will. Popper got in a swipe at Rainey’s chair- man with his vote once, but that was all he bad to say. 1i the vote had been close there would have been lots of music in the air, but Rainey’s victory was so overwhelming that the minority just gave up dazed and quit, and the Raineyites had things their own way so easily and completely that they rather lost interest in the proceed- ings themselves. But there was no bolt—not a bolt. All those purity anti-boss fellows who ex- pected to run things themselves just took their medicine and said nothing. The convention got no turther than pe § DEMOCRATIC MUNKI?AL CONVENTION ’ — These Needed No Credentials, manent organization last night, electing Dr. D. F. Ragan permanent chairman. A18:30 p. M. W. P. Sullivan, chairman of the general and executive commitiees of the organization, called the assemblage to order and announced without remarks that nominations for temporary chairman were in order, After a pause Attorney Joseph E. 0'Don- This covert allusion to the “‘gang” won a little applause from the anti-Raineyites, as did the mention of Deuprey’s name. On motion nominations closed and roll- call on temporary chairman was ordered. The decisive test of the convention was at hand, and there was an immediate ten- sion of interest as Secretary McGovern be- gan in his loud, clear voice to call the roll cf 600 names. There was first on the roll the batch of twenty-four names comprising the ten delegates at large apportioned by the hat- drawing, the seven named by Chairman Sullivan and the seven named by Secre- tary John F. McGovern. Twelve of these vetes went to Deuprey and eight, includ- ing Secretary McGovern's went to Rey- nolds. The Twenty-eighth District, where Rainey controlled fourteen votes and Sec- retary McGovern of the ‘‘anarchists’’ con- trolled the rest, cast its vote solidly for Reynolds, In the Twenty-ninth Samuel Braunhart was able to throw thirty-one votes to Den- prey, one going to Reynolds. Tue vote of the Lhirty-first displayed Campaign Committeeman George Love in the middle of the Rainey camp. One vote went to Deuprey and thirty-one to Rey- nolds, giving Reynolds 112 and Deuprey 62. The Raineyiteshowled in joy, although the vote was no surprise to them. The Thirty-third, controlled by John O’Donrell, another “anarchist,” gave 32 votes to Reyaolds. The victory was plain, the gang howled and the buried minority sighed in despair. The Thirty-fourth, where the delegation Wis divided between Rainey and Attorne, K. L. Mann of Congressman Maguire’s office, who isinterested in the Legisiature, gave one lone vote ‘o Deuprey. Mann's knife went into McNab and Sullivan. The Thirty-fifth gave its 35 votes for Deuprey, and James Butler's friend, A. C. Freese, was seen to be out of the race for the nomination for Public Administrator. The Thirty-sixth gave 11 votes to Den- Prey and 21 to Reynolds, When Max Pop- Gavin McNab Talked Quietly in a Corner. 1 James Denman Also Held His Peace in Defeat. per's name was called he shouted: “Mr. Chairman, I desire to vote for a man who has always been a Democrat—Eugene N. Deuprey.” Howls arose at this stab at the Rainey candidate, and a pugnacious Raineyite shouted, ‘‘That’s more’n you've been.’ Popper’s remark was based on the fact that Reynolds was nominated for Justice ofthe Peace by the Populists two years ago. However, at this stage Mr. Revnolds had 205 votes and Mr. Deuprey enjoyed the credit of 125, As the rollcail went on, W. P. Sullivan, Joseph M. Nougues, A. A. Watkins, G. How ard Thompson, M. Greenblatt,Charles Wesley Reed and ex-Senator H. C. Ges- ford voted for Deuprey. The Thirty-ninth, controlled mainty by Rainey and comprising a minority con- trolled by Campaign Committeeman Dr. W. J. Gavigan, who will probably be nominated for Police Julge, gave its thirty-two votes solidly to Reynolds. When the Forty-second was reached Harry E. Wise announced 32 votes for Reynolds. When the vote reached 328 to 157 Osgood Putnam moved that the rollcall be suspended and that the nomination of Mr. Reynolds be made unanimous. There were cries of **‘No, no,”’ and by the voice one of the protests came from Max Popper. hairman Sullivan said that every dele- gate had a right to bave his vote recorded on every important matter. “There are some delegates who want their votes recorded on this issue,’”” added Mr. Sullivan sarcastically. The vote was announced to be 369 for Reynolds and 204 for Deuprey. Mr. Rey- nolds was escorted t0 the chair and Mr, Reynolds made a speech. He gave thanks nn-{then repliea to Max Popper’s thrust. His father was of Virginis, and every Rey- nolds had always been a Democrat. I:gs mother was of Tennessee and of genera- tions of Democracy, ‘‘and, gentlemen of the convention, Mr. Popper’s insinuation notwithstanding, it seems to me that I mittee on permanent organization and or- der of business was named: William Turner, William Cullin, E. J. Far- rell, George A. Love, James Devine, Thomas Scully, George McCullum, P. F. Butler, T. F. Barry, Thomas W. Burlse, A. A. Watkins, Henry Blaney, E. R. Rock, R. E. Lyons, J. B. Keenan, James Feiger, J. A. Spinetti, Gavin McNab. At the end of another long recess J. A. Spinetti, chairman of the committee, read the report, which recommended Dr. D. F. Ragan for permanent chairman, J. Saul- man for permanent secretary and L. F. Byington for vice-chairman, Delegates were to meet on the 22d inst. in Senatorial and Assembly district convention to name candidates for the Legislature which were to be ratified by the convention. The or- der of nominations was fixed in the usual way. The report was adopted by a viva voce vote. There was no fight left in the mi- nority. Dr. Ragan came to the front and talked of thanks, favorable auspices, W. J. Bryan and the fairness he would show, and ob- served in_reference 1o the convention: “Friction isa law of nature and necessary to progress. The more friction the more progress.” The Raineyites cheered Lim and then Charles Wesley Reed caused another re- cess by moving the appointment of a committee of eighteen on platiorm and resolution. After a while Harry Wise's motion to make it twenty-five prevailed, and the committee was finally announced as follows: Dr.T. A. Rotianzi, John Mannix, P.M. De- laney, John Kinsella, W. T. Colbert, J. T. Le- haney, Mat O'Brien, James Butler, Ed F. Ring, W. P. Sullivan, Hugo K. Asher, Alexander 1. Vogelsang. Isidor Jacobs, Joseph “Berham, Harry E. Wise. Samuel Pollock, kins, Gavin McNab, H. C. Gesford J. A. Runcie, J. 8. Wardell, J. L. Franklin, M. C. Hassett, Charles Wesley Reed. By this time it was nearly midnight and half the delegates had gone home. On motion of Joseph E. O'Donnell the con- vention adjourned until ¥riday evening. THE BUCKLEY TICKET. Registrar Hinton Refused to Flle Certificates of Nomination. In response to the application of J. C. ?homu Has- Nealon and W. T. Hawley to have the nominees of the Buckley Democratic cone vention placed upon the ticket, Registrar Hinton has penned the following reply: To Messrs. J. C. Nealon and W. T. Hawley— GENTLEMEN: Ireceived to-day a document to which your names are attached as chairman and secretary respectively, entitled *‘Certifi- cate of Nomination of Candidates for Public Office by a Convention Representing the Dem- ocratic Party of the City and County of San Francisco, for the Year 1896.” Mr. Thomas J. Glynn and the semlemen presenting th document demanded that the Registrar e same. 1 declined to file said document, because it does not emanate from a ‘‘convention m‘ne senting a pulitical party which at the last election before the holding of such conven- tion polled at least 3 per centof the entire yoteof the * * * countz. city or other po- litical diviston for which the nomination was made,”’ as required by the Political Code, scc- tion 1186.

EMMA A ASHLEY'S TRIAL “Lucky” Baldwin'’s Assailant Brought to Bar Before Judge Bahrs. All Day Yesterday Consumed in Ob- taining Nine Jurors to Hear the Cas-=. The trial of Emma O. Ashley, who is charged with assault to murder E. J. Bald- win, was begun yesterday in Judge Bahrs’ court. The defendant is a sister ot Lillian A. Ashley, who is suing Baldwin for $75,- 000 damages for seduction. Emma Ashley during the trial of her sister’s snit against the millionaire horse- man was a constant attendant in Judge Slack’s courtroom. She was of a religious disposition and usually sat in the rear of the room reading her Bible and apparently paying little attention to the evidence. On the morning of July 2, 1896, however, while her sister was being cross-examined, Emma Ashley suddenly took a pistol fiom a small hand bag and approaching Baldwin, as he sat with his back to her, fired at his head. The ball barely missed its intended vic- tim and buried itself in the opposite wall. ‘When taken to the City Prison the young woman seemed demented and wanted to stop on the way and pray. She claimed to have been commanded by God to kill her sister’s enemy, but was other- wise unconcerned at her predicament. Emma Ashiey, Lillian Ashley and a couple of female friends sat together ali day in the courtroom yesterday listening to the efforts of the wrangling attorneys to secure a jury. Despite their best efforts, bowever, but nine men had been secured when the hour of adjournment arrived. The case goes on to-morrow. Following are the jurors already sworn in: A. 8. Perley, N. Davidson, J. C. Burke, L. Kragen, D. Curry, D. W, Pringle, L. G. Flanagan, W. L. Groat, C. Meir. GAVE BOND NOT 10 PH Device by Which Ex-Attorney Napthaly Tricked the Police Courts, Would Not Be Prosecuted for Perjury, Because the Bail Bond Was Defective. Police Court Attorney B. F. Napthaly bas again slipped through the meshes of the legal net. This time he was indicted for perjury. Judge Troutt yesterday dis- missed the charge. Almost two years ago Napthaly had a client named Mills, to secure whose re- lease he signed a bond, swearing that he (Napthaly) owned $1500 worth of furni- | ture in storage. Asit was proven that the statement was false, the Grand Jury in- dicted the practitioner for perjury. When the case came up for trial in Judge Troutt’s court yesterday, the bond that Napthaly signed was introduced in evidence. William D. Farren, the clerk in Judge Lowe's court, identitiea the pa- per as the one Napthaly had affixed his signiture to at Farren’s house. Carroll Cook, who represented the accused, then took all the wind out of the prosecution’s sails by announcing that the bond bound its signer “‘not to pay the State of Califor- nia the sum of $500"" in case Mills did not appear for trial. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Hinkle was astounded and Judge Troutt for an instant did not know what to do. He then asked for the document, and sure enough there was the word “not” interlineated, this making the bond completely inopera- tive. As the document was defective of course any sworn statement about it was imma- terial and the charge of perjury fell flat. Judge Troutt‘tharefore.. dismissed the case. Napthaly hds been in trouble a num- ber of times, and Judge Slack disbarred him long ago. He, however, is, for some unknown reason, allowed to practice in the Police Courts, with the exception of Judge Low’s department. He has no right to do o, but an alleged political pull is said to influence the other Judges in his favor. MRS. GERMAN’S DENIAL. Says She Was Not Married Thirteen Times and That Her Husband Has Badly Mistreated Her. Mrs. Esther German, who has been sued for divorce by her husband and who has been alleged by him to have been married thirteen times, declares not only that this but every other allegation made by her husband is false. She says that she was married three times, but the experi- ence she has bad with her present hus- band has been such as to cause her to be very careful how she marries again. She declares that while she is eager to be free from the ties that bind her to German she will see to iv that he does not get the di- vorce, as he has not only deserted but mal- treated her. She says that 8o long as she supplied him with money and kept him in wine all went well in her household, but when she ceased to do thattrouble began. She says she was in business and doing weil for herself when she met and married Ger- man, since which time, however, she has lost everything and all through him. R D g Free Copies of the Charter. The Citizens’ Cuarter Association has just, had printed 20,000 copies of the new charter in its original form for public distribution. Any person desiring one or more copies should apply at the office of the Charter Association in the Mills building, and they will be cheer- fully given or sent to him. Owing to the small amount appropriated for the Freeholders’ convention only 1000 copies of the charter were fuhluhed. For that reason these addi- tional 20,000 copies have been issued by the Charter Association. By addressing a postal to the association a copy will be sent to any address without any charge.

The Article Objected To Was Made in St Joseph, Missouri. IS NOW UNDER INVESTIGATION Large Attendance of Union Iron Works Employes—Irish and Mexican C:lebrations. The attendance at the Home Industry Exposition at the ravilion last evening was indeed large. The 25 cents admission has proved a success beyond all expecta- tions, as the number of visitors more than makes up the aifference between the present and the old rate. Last evening it was estimated that fully 2000 employes of the Union Iron Works were at the exposition, and even this number constituted less than half of the attendance. The Union Iron Works em- ployes—and the publicin general for that matter—were received by Irving M. Scott, who delivered the address of welcome. The principal event of the evening was the debate upon the new charter. There was no decision rendered, as the debate was purely of an educational nature, _A. P. Van Duzer, president of the Asso- ciated Improvement Clubs, and Henry H. Clement, one of the freeholders who helped draw up the document, gave rea- sons why it should be adopted. P. J. Healy and John M. Reynolds spoke sgainst it. The principal work of Judge Doolan was to keep the speakers within the twenty minutes allowed to each debater. There is a well developed little tempest in a teapot rumpus in one of the depart- ments in the Pavilion. Formonths it was advertised that the affair would be a strictly home-product exposition and that no Eastern or foreign made goods or products would be presented to the atten- tion of the public. 8. H. Tacy, manager of the Manufac- turers’ ana Producers’ Association of Cali- fornia, made the discovery that a St. Joseph (Mo.) firm has a large booth in the west end of the building where a Missouri brand of pancake flour 1s being exhibited. Of course Mr. Tacy raised a vigorous pro- test against the supposed intruder, and he wus ably seconded by a goodly number of local producers of flours and meals. An investigation was made, and it is stated that the Missouri firm has three carloads of its flour on the way to this City for use at the exposition. Two of these carloads ure said to be in Sacramentoand the other is at Fifth and Town<end streets. The protest resulted in the management of the exposition appointing a committee to look into the Missouri firm'’s pretensions tobe a local manufacturing concern. Those who are raising the breeze say that the Eastern man has given oruers 10 local millers for cornmeal, rye and the other cereal components of its pancake flour in order to mix with the product of the St. Josepn mill. By so doing the hope is that the flour will pass as a Calitornia productand be permitted in the fair. Pend- ing a decision Aunt Jemima still holds forth in the booth and disperses tooth- some pancakes to the public, much to the annoyance of local miliers. This evening the anniversary of Mexican independence will be ‘com- memorated at the Pavilion. A number of local mandolin clubs will render an especial programme made up of Mexican airs. The entertainment will be held in the art gallery. The Celtic Union will hoid its first joint celebration at the Pavilion to-morrow evening. A musical programme made up of national Irish and American airs will be a feature of the entertainment. Jeremiah Deasy, president of the union, will have charge of the festival. The Hon. Joseph Leg ett will deliver an address on Irish manufactures and the past and present ana future commercial prosperity of the Emerald Isle. ‘The result of voting for the most attrac- tive exhibits in the fair to last evening was as follow: Johnson-Locke Mercantile Conipany, 995 votes; Tillmaun & Bendel, 633 votes; Crown Flour Milling Company, 484 votes; Fulton Egineering Works and Rix Company Air Ma- chinery Company, 424 votes; Joshua Hendy Machine Works, 378 votes; Laumeister Miliing Company, 286 votes; W.

IRISH NIGHT ARRANGED It Will Be a Time of Many Melo- dies at the Mechanics’ Pavilion. The Celtic Union Is Encouraged and Sees Signs of a Strong Central Society. At a meeting of the Celtic Union last night Jeremiah Deasy, Charles B. Flanni- gan and J. H. Doolan, the committee -on the Mechanics’ Institute, reported the 17th would be celebrated as Irish night. “The committee from the Pavilion did all in its power to make it pleasant for us,” said Mr. Flannigan and the evening will be de- voted to Irieh “music.” Jeremiah Deasy will preside and Joseph Leggett will be crator of the evening. Di- vision No. 10 of the Hibernians will march in a-body from Hibernian Hall to the Mechanics' Pavilion to meet other so- cieties, among them the Knights of the Branch, Ancient Order of Hibernians, Knights of St. Patrick and the Three Counties’ Societies, the Gaelicand Knights of Tara. ‘Tne union feels encouraged at the pros- ct of consolidating every Irish society n one body for the purpose of co-operat- ingpn important matters and finally ef- fecting the completion of an arrangement to build a central hall. LODGING-EOUSE ROW. It Results in Two Men Being Cut and a Woman Getting Her Shoulder- Blade Broken. The lodging-house 742 Howard street, kept by Mrs. Mary Ann Connelly, was the scene of a lively fight last night, resulting in the arrest of two men on charges of as- sault to murder and assault with a deadly | weapon. John Cook, a cook, and his wife occupy aroom onthe ground floor in the rear. Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Cook met Jo- seph Cordes, a friend, and they had some drinks together. They went to 742 How- ard street and Cook joined them in their festivities. About 7 o’clock Cook left and Mrs. Con- nelly and her daughter went into Cook’s | room. They were all chatting together when Cook jumped through the open window, with a knife in_his band, and made for Cordes. Miss Connally urged Cordes to run and climb the fence, but Le did not heed her advice. Cook and he grappled with each other and a rough-and- tumble fight followed. When it was all over Cook had six wounds 1n his scalp, one penetrating to the skull; Cordeshada deep wound in his arm and Mrs. Connelly, who was knocked down by Cook, had her | left shoulder-blade broken. Their wounds were dressed at the Re- ceiving Hospital. the City Prision for assault to murder and assault with a deadly weapon, and Cordes with assault with a deadly weapon. Mrs. Cook, who was considerably under the influence of liquor, was arrested and booked at the\Southern station on the charge of vagrancy. ANOTHER DAY OF AWE" To-Day Is the Eve of Yom Kippur, a Solemn Period of Atonement. Appropriate Services Will Be Held in All the City Synagogues—Fast- ing Enjoined. The most important and solemn of the Hebrew “Davs of Awe” will commence with the setting of the sun this evening. To-day is the eve of the Day of Atone- ment, whereon the pious Hebrew ‘‘af- fliets his soul” in accordance with the Biblical injunction. For twenty-four hours, commencing at sunset this even- | ing, till the same time to-morrow, not a | mouthful of food will be permitted to pass his lips. It is in all respects the most | universally observed day of the whole cycie of festivals and fasts. Yom Kippur is the name by which the Day of Xtonement is known among Israelites. It is observed by Hebrewsinall parts of the world and of all sections of pelief—radical, reform, conservative or orthodox—in the synagogue. The reli- gious and musical exercises are impressive and are of such a character as to impress upon all the solemnity of the occasion. Much of the old traditional form of ser- vice has been eliminated from the ritual | of modern American synagogues. This | has been brought about by reform which | | rejects absolutely forms of worship con. ceived in Egypt, in Spain, in Babylonia and in Palestine. In orthodox places of worship, of which there are quite a num- ber in this City, the officiating ministers are robed in white, emblematic of punty, Cook was booked at | A COLONY FOR MONTEREY Settlement of Four Hundred German Catholic Fami- lies. What August Erz, Promoter of the Enterprise, Exp:cts to Accom- plish at Detroit. To-day articles of incorporation will be filed looking to the establishment of a large colony of German Catholics in Mon- terey County. A similar colony may be formed in Mendocino County, but the Monterey enterprise will first receive the atiention of the promoters. The leading and progressive spirit ir the work is August Erz, a well-known German writer and a business man of fine attainments. He has been a contributor to the columns of the California Volks- fruend, the German Catholic paper of San Francisco, and is highly connected in the East. Mr. Erz will leave shortly for Detroit to attend the German Catholic Congress to be held 1n that city September 24, This congress will be composed of delegates from all the German Catholic benevolent and fraternal societies of the United States. He will go to Detroit to specially prowmote the advancement of the proposed colony in Monterey and will be able to | present facts which will surely enlist the attention of the delegates. Already more than a hundred letters of inquiry re- garding the colony have been received, which fact alone indicates the widespread interest in the enterprise. The exact site of the colony cannot be designated at present, but it iz proposed that land suitable to the production ot sugar beets shall be selected, as it is in- | tended to make that industry one of the principal features of the new settlement. The associates of Mr. Erz are confident of his ability to obtain substantial subscrip- tions at Detroit to advance the colony project. Four hundred families will be invited to settle on the tract of land. EQUAL SUFFRAGE. Ladies Preparing for a Grand Campaign Concert at the Metropolitan Temple.
