Tiie annual Rtgby csrapmeetlng took
place Sunday and It was a big day for tbe
colored people. Tbla meeting lias been
held ler very many yeara and It never falla
te bring together a large crowd et oelored
as well as tbe white peple. It li lelely
tbe religions meeting of tbe negrees, bow
ever. The present placa et meeting la In

a mile from tbe Maryland line. Meeting
have been bold at tbla p'ace for tbe past
aeven year, but formerly tbey took plaoe
In a grove about a mile and a-balf away.
Frem tbe owner et tbe grove tbe name
Klgby was given.
la late years a church has been erected
In Haines' weeds and all meetings ate
new held there. Trie weeds la well adapted
te Its purpose. It la situated en a hill
which begins at tbe station and ascends
graiually. Tbe trees are thick and several
springs en the ground (urn eh the beat of
drinking waters.
"Klgby Day" Is known all ever tbe lower
end of this oeunty, Chester and Cecil, Har
ford and Yerk, and from all the colored
people come They make It a big holiday
and save tbelr meney te make a geed appear
ance at the meetlng. "It never rains en
Rlgby Day," Is au old saying among tbe
colored people; and Ills nearly right III
said that tbe weather Is usually of tbe best
en that day and the meetlugs were soareely
ever known te be Interfered with by bid
weather. Yesterday morning tbe clouds
looked rather heavy end threatening for a
lone; time, however, and, although the sun
was Bhinlng brightly at neon, they re'.urned
later In the day aud a rain followed. This
did net come until tbe prlnelpal services of
tbe day had been concluded.
1'rjNNY CONVEYANCES.
Bright and early In the morning tbe
people began te pour Inte the grounds.
They carae In all kinds of vehicles, from a
large omnibus down te a sulky, and some
et the turnouts woreol the funniest kind
imaginable. Many pieple walked te tbe
grounds from the uclnlty. Special tralnB
were run en the narrow gauge railroad,
and tbe llttle locomotive, which leeks like
a toy, wan kept busy puffing and snorting
around the grounds all day lone. Special
trains Mere run te I'euab Bettem every hall
hour, and they hauled a great many psepla
There were probably a couple of thousand
colored folks en the ground?, from the
llttle black child lu Its mother' arms te old
gray haired men and women of 80 yeara
and ever. There were many very funny
looking old men, who could play tbe part
of Uncle Tem without a partlcle of make,
up, while the aunt Dinahs and Hannahs
were very numereur.
The mpjerlty of tbe colored people were
well dressed and all were well behaved
with thocxe3ptlon et a few loud-uieuthod
beja who mauage te bring orieugh whisky
with them te tbe grounds te make them
ugly. This led te a disturbance towards
evening In whleh men and women joined,
and several had thelr heads punched. There
were as many If net mero white people than
colored en tbe ground, and they mingled
freely with tLelr dusky brethren and sla
teia MANY LANCASTRIANS ATTKND.
Lancaster was well represented at the
meeting. Many folks dreve down from
ihlsclty wirly iiilhe morning and among
the number were several politicians who
kept Bmlllngatthe colored girls, nursing
the pickaninnies, treating the bucks te
lemonade, and in manyether ways making
themselves popular. Noneof tbe politicians
were s-eu in the vlcinlly et the piece et
worship. The reault ct their huatllug will
net be" known until after tbe next Re
pnblicau primary, honever, as colored
men are considered very quoer In pol
itics, and ospeclally se In the lewer
end. Lancaster was represented very largely
by Its hucksters. This enterprising let el
men seldom get lei', and when they don't
knew bow te de business lu a crowd the
weather is very frleU. There were no less
than thirty of thi s i thrifty men at the
moettug, and thelr stands dotted the weeds
from the Btatlen te the top of the hill. In
addition te these there ware many ethor
stands whlen were presided ever by
..ninrndclilzauset tbe nelg bjrhoed. Fer
tbe right te ereet these Btands the huck
sters paid the obureh from 2 te 15
eaeb, be that religion and business was sue
cesslully combined te the best Interests el
tbecnuieh. Everything was ettered fersale
and no eue with money had auy need te go
away hungry or thirsty, lemonade and
peanuts have the tightest held en peeple
who atteud publle meetings, whether they
be white 01 colored, aud great q Jan titles el
both were disposed or. Tue stands were well
patronized, aud tee cream, watermelons,
"New Orleans Mad " aud ether things
were sold in great quantities. The Lan
caster huckster h very " 11 " and the ma
jority of theni made plenty of money. An
article that seemed te Le lu demand was
the campaign badge. Although Harrison
had tbe call mrmg tbe colored people,many
were seen with President Cleveland's pic
ture en tueir ceatc. Badges of all kinds
were sold, but the whlte doalers y that
their buslueas was hurt by a calmed dealer

THE DA'S SEllVIOLS
The place where the religious servlctB
weru held was in tte weeds en
the south slde of the read and some dis
tance up the hill. Here a rough pulpit bad
been ereeted ler the minister, wblle tbe
audience occupied temporary beaid Beats.
On account et the IlcIIue In the ground
tbe pulpit bad been made down the bill se
that everybody en the stats had a geed
opportunity te Bee and hear.
The meeting was la charge of Rev.
Lewis, a well-dressed and sjuieA'bat In
telligent looking colored man. He also
seemed te bave charge of thestugleg, which
part el the service was Xty far the most In-
lereillng. xae nytuca were ui me wu
oampmeetleg kind, with funny word
and still funnier musle Sjuie of them
lasted for K and -0 minutes, and
few It any outsiders could ca'ch hall of the
words. 'I he colored people, howevor,
Beemed te be perfectly familiar with them
and they followed Lev.l, who with his
band te his head saDg lu the meat earnest
way. Heme of the old sisters were greatly
affected by the singing and grew very happy
during the day,
Tbe pulpit was occupied by several dltler-
ent ministers during the day. Wblle one
preiched thn ethers occupied the rough
eats In tbe rear. Nearly all were grsj
beaded and borne were bald. Theywereall
well-dressed and respectable looking, but
the scene reminded one very forcibly of tbe
well known pictures of tke "Lime Kiln
Club."
The sorvlees nf tbe meetlng began en
Saturday evening when the first eernien
was preicned by liar. Stephen Frlsby, et
Columbia ThenrJt sermon ei nuneay morn
lngwits b rt.v.ThemM Wilsen, el Lsncas
ter, and he waa followed by Kev. Jeremiah
Procter, et Lincoln. Kev. Jehn W.Clemens,
of West Chester, preached In the afternoon
te a large audience. Be waa an old gray
haired and very reverend looking man. He
took his text from number of chapters in
the Bible and In his discourse he managed
te work In a nutnW et very long words
bu; at times his audience was at a less te see
their way through his arguments. In tbe
evening Kev. Nelsen Wiggins, of New
Uirden, Chester oeunty, closed the services
with a sermon and " Klgby Day " was evor
for another year. '
During the morning services ene et tbe
minister! ereated seme amusemeut especi
ally te tbe whlte people. In closing his
remarks he said "It there are any bfothern
or sisters here who have any chicken te
spare they will please send It tethe pulpit."
This bad tbe desired tITeet and the appe appe
tltesletthebungry reverend gentlemen were
satisfied.

Tlis Actlv. riaiebatl Oluti Delisted In a Clete
Oame en Saturday,
Tbe crowd that gatbered at the Irentldes
ball grounds en Saturday afternoon wit
one of tbe kind calculated te make ball
players and every one else leel geed. There,
were abiut 600 peeple present, and of this
number COO paid. The ethers skinned tbe
fence or beat their way In In some
ether manner. The attraction was a game
of biae ball between tbe Active club and
tbe newly erganlzid Penn rolling mill
nine. Tue Actives had net been boaten b
single time this year, and It was well
known that they would make a geed fight
te win, while tbe rolling mill boys were
going te make a desperate eUert te bettl
them. The result was that tbf Iren work
ers oame out rloterloua by tbe soere of 1 te
3. Altogether tbe game was close, but
was net as Interesting as tbe figures
would lead one te believe. There was net
an earned run In tbe game. Melcberwasln
the box tcr tbe Iren men, and he pltched
another splendid game, lie was given
much better support than during the first
game, howevor.
Suyder slse pitched well, and tbe mill
men had no chance te slug him te any
extent. He was wild In hla throwing te
bases, however, and two very damaging
errors of this kind were made by him.
Tbe Actives did net put up tbe fielding game
that they can and should, Ot tbe 1'eun
club McGrady aud Keldenbach each took
dlttlcultllies. Qlelm played third base In
the absence of Charles Shay, and although
be bad two errors In tbe first Inntug be aot aet
tled down te work after that and did well.
Although Umpire Dean usually does well,
and It is well known that be would net de
any one an Intentional wrong, he made one
very bad decision In this game. 1 1 was In
tbe eighth Inning. Kill wentte the bat and
sent a geed ball Inte right Held. It passed
inBlde et the first bag and remained lu until
It stepped near tbe foul fUg line. 'J be
nmplre was near tbe pitcher's box at the
tlme, and although he ran out he did net
get a geed vlew of the ball and he declared
It a foul. K very one In a position te see It
pronounced It filr. At the time tbe Actives
had a man en third base and this bit would
bave brought blm In. There was but cne
scorer en the grounds and he was very In
accurate. Belew we glve tbe result et his
work for what It la worth :

Among the mpn that the Republican
party has dellgbted te honor In the paat
none have beeu accounted ninr-i honorable
than Charles J. Amlden, et Hinsdale, N.
U He has been prominent In party olreles,
and has been rcoegnlzsd by Its tnetubers aa
an able and representative man. Four
veara age Mr. Amlden refused te swallow
Hlalneism, but this year It was expeeted
be would be found In the old camp With
this Idea Republican shouters called upon
the firm of C, J. Amlden it Sen. Mr.
Frank Amlden, the junior member el the
tlrtu, says : "We are for tree wool, beeauie
we believe It would help our butlueta
materially and harm no one lu particular.
We employ 100 men In the manufacture el
oashmerols, and tbls tariff nn wool simply
drives us from tbe use of finer grades for
mixing te the use exclusively nf tbe coarser
California and Texas wools. Consequently
we are restricted and hampered lu cur
operations by this wool tariff, whleh yields
a revenue net needed by the government.
Free wool would enable a otieaponlng el
product that would result In Ineruased con
sumption, acenxnquHnt Increased detnaud
for raw wool, both native and foreign, and
steadier employment In times of overpre
duotten, when the surnltis might by ebance
00 disposed of abroad."
Here Is a psrnraph from llie spoeoh. et
Hen. Charlrs R. Duukalew, delivered last
May In the lower house of Cengress:
" About sixteen years age what occurred T
Our tanneraand leathirinen came te Con
gress and they were Inlluent.al In securing
a law for the Importation el hides Inte tbla
country duty free, thereby exciting tbe
same character of clamor against free
bides that we new hear agilnst free
wool. Why, the farmer was te be ruined,
the butchers were te be rulned, by caking
en 125, en nn average, from thevaluent
Mvery animal slaughtered In the United
Stabs; our Industries were te be very
greatly Injured by decreasing the tnsrket
value of demtstla bides. But Congress
passed the law for free bides. New nur
experts of leathor and leather manufac
tures are eight or ten times greater than
they were bsfore the pasige of that law
applause, and the farmers and butchers
are net li'Jured, because they buy cheaper
beets, shoes nnd ether articles which tbey
need. Everybody Is benelltied by the
change That Is the result of buying free
bldesdewnln Argoutlne, which are brought
here and worked up, and the products of
which net only supply In part our home
demand but go out Inte the uommeree of
the world. "
