The Sovereigns of Industry
Fight a Pitched Battle.
CHAEGES OF A KING'S EULE.
Treasurer Pattern's Defalcatiou Resur
rected for a Purpose.
SERIOUS ACCUSATIONS BANDIED.
A Sharpsburg Council Wants the Grand
President Impeached.
INSIDE EEYELATIONS AS TO THE EOW
The alleged defalcation of J. W. Patton,
Grand Treasurer of the Sovereigns of In
dustry, is bearing lively fruit in stirring up
of internecine dissensions. The amount of
Patton's shortage is now definitely reported
to be 51,375. exclusive of the $500 voted to
the Johnstown flood fund, which will be
made good shortly by the Council. The
bitter fight in progress in the order had its
inception in Patton's levanting.
At the special meeting of the Grand
Council last Saturday evening, the whole
matter was resurrected and in the heated
discussion which arose, strong language
passed and blows were almost resorted to.
It was a lively time, and some of the
ladies present took refuge in a cloak room
"while the wordy war proceeded. It was
brought out that on the night the Grand
Council met to vote relief to Johnstown, a
motion wasmadetomakethesumSSOO. This
amount oversized Treasurer Patton's pile,
and with admirable sang froid Patton
moved to emend by making it ?100. He
was voted down. The Grand Secretary
drew a warrant for $500 and sent it to
Treasurer W. It. Thompson, of the Kelief
Committee. A messenger carried the war
rant to Patton, who drew a check for ?500
and
PROMPTLY SKIPPED
to parts unknown. The check went through
one bank all right, and the money was
paid; but the bank on which the check was
drawn reported "no funds." The Grand
Council thereupon resolved that the honor
ot the order was at stake, and the check
should be made good.
Then came hot charges that officials of
the order had been cognizant of Patton's
pecnlations for some time previous to his
disappearance, and that there was ample
proof that the higher officials had not ex
acted a bond Irora Patton, as required by
the by-laws of the order. Dead silence
followed this accusation, end it was re
peated with personal garnishments, coupled
with the threat that all members of the
Grand Council who could be proven to
have been aware of Patton's conduct would
be expelled from the order. "Wildest con
tusion followed this announcement, which
was made by a prominent Southsider.
The changes were run upon gag-law rul
ings, it being claimed that the installing
official of the order had deliberately ab
sented himself from lodges 7 and 13 in or
der to invalidate' the right of their repre
sentatives to appear in Grand Council, and
a lively rumpus was the result of this
charge. '
IT SOUGHT IMPEACHMENT.
All this was incidental to the real object
of the special meeting, viz., the considera
tion of anew constitution and by-laws and
the securing of a new charter which would
allow the extension of the order to other
States. At a special meeting two weeks
Eince the new constitution was combated
simply upon the grounds that it was too au
tocratic, and centralized the machinery of
the order in a few hands. But the oppo
nents of the constitution found fuel to feed
the fire in the alleged existence of a "ring"
in the order. The wrangle over Patton
added to the ranks of the opponents of a
new constitution, and it was defeated,
hands down. The question ot extension to
other States is generally favored, and will
receive attention later on.
A bitter personal attack was made upon
J. D. Buckley, Grand President of the Sov
ereigns. He was accused of the champion
ship of the new constitution and all the
autocracy implied therein, and all the
charjres above outlined were- boldly laid at
his door.
Finally, as a culmination of the stormy
episodes of the evening, the members ot
Economy Council, Kb. 13, hastily framed a
resolution impeaching the Grand President
IT WAS KULED OUT.
It was offered for reference to the Griev
ance Committee of the order; but Mr.
Buckley, who was presiding, ruled against
its admission on the donbtless correct
ground that the resolution did not bear the
seal of the Council forobvious reasons. Amid
great confusion a motion to adjourn was
carried, and the fight came to a temporary
cessation.
There are 7,000 Sovereigns of Industry in
Pittsburg and Allegheny and 41 lodge's in
Allegheny county. Although the order is
strongest hereabouts, there are lodges scat
tered all through the State. The order is of
a secret beneficial nature, and its rapid
growth attests very conclusively its popu
larity. The Grand President, Mr. J. D.
Buckley, is a member of tho Central Board
ot Education.
STKUCK HER IX THE MOUTH.
Patrick Sarnse Attacked a Woman on
I'enn Avenue Yesterday.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Charles Ham
mond was walking down Penn avenue. At
the corner of Eleventh street she met a gen
tleman friend with whom she conversed a
few moments. She afterward started on
down Penn avenue, but was quickly over
taken by Patrick Savage, who asked her
what she had been talking to the other gen
tleman about She refused to tell him.
Savage drew back and struck the woman
full in the mouth with his fist She stag
gered back against a building. Officer
Moran came up and placed Savage under
arrest The policeman says he has always
been a quiet, orderly citizen, but for the
past few weeks has been drinking. After
he had been arrested Mrs. Hammond pro
ceeded to Magistrate McKenna's office and
preferred a charge of aggravated assault
against him. She begged that he be pun
ished as lightly as possible. The lady was
also very solicitous that the story be not
published.
AMEEICA AND CHINA FIGHTING.
Their Representatives Furnishing; Amuse
ment for Hill People.

"Webster avenues was the scene of consider
able excitement and amusement yesterday.
Yee Sing is a Chinese laundryman at No.

ANUGLYSCRIMMAG
QUAY WAS CAUGHT.
lie Tries the Old Know-Nothing; Tactics.
Dnt He Falls the Victim to a Little Bit or
Flnttcrv.
The Hon. Matthew Stanley Quay was a
passenger on the Limited last night "When
the reporters called upon him in his private
car he received them most courteously. En
couraged by such a greeting, it was thought
the junior Senator was going to talk; but it
did not take him long to undeceive his. vis
itors. "Did you have a nice trip, Senator?" was
the first question ventured.
J'Yes, a very nice one."
"Major Mootooth is just now getting a
great boom all over the State as a candidate
lor Governor. "What is your opinion about
him?"
"I do not know."
"The appointment to the Pittsburg post
mastership is a matter of a great specula
tion here. Have you any opinion to ad
vance on that subject?"
"I do not know."
By this time the reporters lost heart and
did not know for a moment what to ask
next In the meantime the Senator quietly
leaned back in his seat, dividing his gaze
between the upper section of his berth and
the reporters. Occasionally he wonld roll
his lelt eye and glance around the car; but
all the time he retained the same pleasant
manner.
"Will there be a special session of Con
gress in October, and can you tell us what
will be the chief object of the session?"
"I do not knowl"
This chilly answer had been premeditated,
because it came almost before the question
was put It was no use. Suddenly a bright
idea seemed to have struck one of the inter
viewers. "What do you think about the Republi
can convention held at Harrisburg last
week?"
"I do not knowl"
"But the delegates passed a resolution in
which they gave you very high praise."
"Yes. so they aid; I saw 1 was told
about that"
There! the Senatorial Oyster had opened
his shell at last and upon j ust a little bit of
flatteryl Although he denied that he knew
anything about the Harrisburg Convention,
still he was caught when told that his name
had been favorably mentioned. However,
the reporters were satisfied that .the Hon.
Matthew was not in the humor to divulge
any political pointers, and they departed,
wishing him a very good n(ght

Without Due Notice.
Harry L. Brown, a well-known honse and
sign painter of 100 Fifth avenue, and Miss
Ida Alabaugh, a young lady from McKees
port, are the heroes of a romantic elopement.
Miss Ida had been visiting her aunt and
grandmother, who reside'on Davidson, near
Forty-fifth streets, and went to live at the
house of Mrs. Brown, 274 Forty-fifth street,
as a companion, after the latter lady had
lost her husband.
Here Miss Alabaugh formed the acquaint
ance of Mr. Brown, and their, afiections
soon ripened into love. On Saturday even
ing last the young lady started for the
depot to go to McKeesport to visit her par
ents, and young Brown accompanied her to
the depot as an escort apparently. But
they went together to Buffalo, where they
were married. A letter was received from
the young lady announcing the event, and
her speedy return. Both parties come from
highly respectable families, and the matter
was a great surprise to all concerned.

A GREAT EXCURSION.
Christian Endeavor Societies on the
MonoDgahela and Ohio.
MARVELOUS GR0WTH.0F SOCIETY.
Only 62 Composed Their First Convention
Held in Maine.
THE PLEDGE A TEST OF MEMBERSHIP.
The combined Societies of Christian Eq
deavor, of Pittsburg and Allegheny, par
ticipated in a most enjoyable river excur
sion last evening. A committee chartered
the Mayflower, which was decorated very
prettily. The Pittsburg excursionists went
on board at the foot of "Wood street at 7:15
r. M., and sailed down to iheliocust street
wharf, taking the Allegheny passengers
aboard. The vessel then returned to the
Wood street wharf, and quite a number oi
late arrivals were able to join in the excur
sion. They afterward sailed up the river as
far as Duquesne and returned, sailing down
the Ohio to the Davis Island dam.
Everything had been done to make the
event pleasant Professor Jordon's orches
tra rendered a choice programme, which in
cluded such works as those of Rossini, the
overture to "William Tell," "Weber's
"Oberon," "No Life "Without Dancing."
and other popular pieces.
THERE WEBE 600 OP THEM.
Refreshments of all kinds were served,
but ice cream was the most popular on the
card. The excursion party arrived back at
midnight, and a unanimous verdict was
pronounced by the 500 people that a more
pleasant trip could not be desired.
A few facts in connection- with the rise
and progress of the Christian Endeavor
movement may be interesting. It originated
in the church ot the Rev. F. E. Clark, ol
"Williston, Me., in 1880, by a small band of
young people, pledging themselves to do a
certain prescribed Christian work daily.
The next year another society joined hands
with them, and at the expiration of the year
a convention was held, when a report was
made, showing that the society numbered 68
members. At the last convention, held at
Philadelphia, so marvelous and unprece
dented had the growth been that the secre
tary was able to report from 7,567 societies,
showing a membership of 500,000. Dele
gates to the convention came from Europe
and Asia. . "x,
THEY. OITE FBACTICAIXY.
Dnring the late convention a free-will
offering was taken up for the especial work
of the Central Society, when $45,000 was
given.
It maybe of interest to state that a num
ber of societies who use the Christian En
deavor name have no legitimate right to do
so, and are not incorporated in the general
roll at headquarters. Many of the societies
have failed to make the pledge a test of
membership, and if that is not done, which
is the case among a few in Pittsburg,
notably at the Butler Street M. E., they are
not really members or the parent society.
The pledge is as follows, and has to be
signed by all active members:
I promise that I will do whatever Jesns Christ
would have me do; that I will read my Bible
every day; that I will take some part in the
prayer mcetlnc besides singing; that I will
always be present at the prayer meeting, ex
cept imperatively detained, and that I will
always do my best to promote the best inter
ests ol the society.
THE W. C. T. U. MEETS. '
Sirs. Campbell Asks to Resign ns Presi
dent The Treasurer's Report Read A
Strong; Preamble for a New Constitu
tion. The "Women's Christian Temperance
Union met yesterday at the Third United
Presbyterian Church, Allegheny. In the
absence of Mrs. Campbell, the President,
Mrs. M. 6. Smailes acted as Chairman, and
in her opening address said thaA the ene
mies of the W. C. T. TJ. were now exulting
in a victory which bids iair to abolish all
observance of the Sabbath.' Miss McCon
nell, the Treasurer reported a total deposit
of $314 60, and a balance' of $170 18. Five
hundred and eight dollars and sixty cents
were spent during the last campaign for the
constitutional amendment
Mrs. H. C. Campbell sent a letter
oi resignation, which was accepted. The
annual meeting will be held the second
Tuesday in September, but the programme
has not been I arranged yet Then a talk
about representation at the State convention
was indulged in, and the Young Women's
Union claimed that they had not had a fair
show last year. The matter was referred to
the annual meeting.
Mrs. Bainey asked that aid be sent to
the Johnstown "W. C. T. U., whose mem
bers had suffered in the flood. This was the
Bignal for a lively succession of indignant
speeches from the'State Secretary and other
officers, who stated that a large amount of
goods had been sent to Johnstown long ago,
and if the people in Johnstown had not got
anything it was simply because they had
not asked for it. If they did not want things
bad enough to ask for them it was their own
fault if they did not get them.
Mrs. Sands, of Wallace Union, of the
church at fne corner of Tan Braam and
Locust streets, gave notice that she would
offer the following amendment to be incor
porated with the preamble to the constitu
tion of the "W. C. T. U.:
The object of the organization shall be to in
terest and unite the women in this locality in
non-sectarian and non-partisan temperance
work, for the reformation of the .intemperate,
the education of public sentiment in fayor of
total abstinence and prohibition of the traffic
in all alcoholic oeverages, for the promotion of
social parity, the suppression of vice and
crime and the education of the masses in re
card to the duties and responsibilities of good
citizenship.

He gave ont the impression that he was at
Washington Springs or Fayette 8prings or
some other place; but all the same howas seen
in Washington. Whether he was ttiere con
sulting with the officials of the Treasury De
partment or not I do not know.
In bis interview, Mr. Campbell says he was
not asked tp furnish any Information in regard
to the case. I deny this. His attorney. Mr.
Cotton, was asked, and that is the same thing.
Mr. Cotton went to District Attorney Lyon's
office, and, when asked by the latter what In
formation his side Intended to give him, Mr.
Campbell's attorney replied: "None whatever."
Upon one occasion I met District Attorney
Lyon at Mr. Brennen's office, and again asked
him if the other side was prepared to give any
thing to him. Mr. Lvon again told me they
would not give any. The proper way to get at
it is for Secretary WlndomtoaskMr. Campbell
for the information and he will then be com
pelled to give it. I have not beard anything
about the department referring the papers
back to Pittsburg for further Information. Mr.
Layton has not received any word, and I do not
think Mr. Lyon has.. The latter is still out of
the city, and if be had any advice be wonld
communicate with Messrs. Brennen or Layton.
One thing I do not understand is the sudden
interest Assistant Secretary Batchellor is tak
ing in the case. When the papers were tint
presented to him he said be would not handle
the case, but would allow it to lay over until
Secretary Wtndom returned to his desk. A few
days after positively refusing to take the mat
ter up he examines the papers and has himself
quoted about the recommendations. If the
newspaper reports are correct, be .virtually
gives an opinion as to what he thinks the out
come of the case will be. I do not think, how
ever, that he will handle the case, as the Secre
tary will take it up and render a decision.
Immigrant Inspector Layton said:
MI have not yet seen anything of the Assist
ant Secretary's supposed reply to our recom
mendations. If he asked for further informa
tion I have not seen his query. I think our re
Sorts were explicit enough, but if any ad
itional information is wanted I think it can be
supplied. I have not received a letter ot any
kind from the department, and if Mr. Lyon had
I think I would have heard something of it."
CLINTON MEN TO STRIKE.
They Sny Tbey Will da It to Aid tho Men at
the Sligo Mill.
The iron workers of the Clinton mills in
Sligo last night threatened to strike unless
a settlement was made by the firm, with the
men at Sligo mill. The latter struck yes
terday afternoon, on account of the finishers
being ordered to work non-union iron from
the Solar "Works. The finishers quit about
1 o'clock, and the puddlers went out after
taking out their heat. About 400 men
went on strike, and if the employes of the
Clinton join, 200 more will be idle.
Phillips, Nimick & Co., own the Sligo
mill, and have leased the Clinton from
Friend and Hoffstot. The puddlers at the
latter works make muck-iron for the former
and all the men are members of the Amal
gamated Association. A number of the Clin
ton men stated last night that, if the trouble
was not settled to-day, they would go out
with their brothers.
The strike at Sligo mill, was not ordered
by the Amalgamated Association, but the
action was an individual matter with the
Employes. A committee of the strikers
from the Solar "Works waited upon them
and said they had traced 12 carloads of
muck-iron from the Solar to Sligo. "When
the men heard ot this they appealed to
Manager Bailey and said they would strike
if the iron was run into the mill. The man
ager refused to yield, and the men quit.
It is proDaDie an agreement win ue mauc
in a lew days, as the firm has large orders,
which must be filled. They have been
running day and night on orders for pipe-
i iron. As an indication that the strike will
not be prolonged, the men said last night
f the furnaces had not been banked.
NO TROUBLE EXPECTED.

and inciting riot, on oath of John Watson, and
they were taken to the Greensburg jail. They
are John Danns, Andy Magas, John OrndorT

leaders in Saturday's riot. Superintendent
Bamsay, of the Standard, who was here this
evening, states that the situation iu the region
is anything bnt encouraging. The men at work
in that locality are In constant fear lest the
Huns come In upon them.
JOHN C0STELL0 IN TOWN.
He Saya the Coke Strikers Are Over Their
Drunken Period.
John Costelle, member of the General
Executive Board, Knights of Labor, arrived
in the city last evening from the Connellsville
coke region. He stated that the strikers
had gotten over their drnnken period, and
those who had received the advance had
gone to work. He stated that the operators
who had not signed the scale would do so
before the end of the week, as the men were
determined to stand out for the price. He
said he thopght the whole region would be
working by next Monday.
Mr. Costello came to town to deliver an
address before some miners on the Baltimore
and Ohio road. He will return to the re
gion this morning.
v AN EXPOSITION TROUBLE.
Union Musician Assured of Consideration
as to the Band.
The committee representing the Central
Trades Council and the German Trades
Council, headed by O. H. "W Euhe, Presi
dent of the Musicians' Mutual Protective
Union, attended the meeting of the Exposi
tion managers yesterday, in reference to the
employment of the non-union Great "West

hour was held. ,
The committee requested the Exposition
managers to favor organized labor in the

A FRUITLESS GLASS CONFERENCE.
The Wage Committees Agree to Disagree
on Next Year's Scale.
At the conference between the wage com
mittees of the window-glass manufacturers'
and workers' associations yesterday they
once more agreed to disagree. From present
indications it looks very much as if there
would be a strike this fall, but the trouble
will likely be settled before the time for
starting up.
The manufacturers' committee was com
posed of "William Loeffler, D. C. Phillips,
T. O. Campbell, of Pittsburg; Thomas D.
Cotlin. of Ottawa, 111.; "W. F. Gray, Zanes
ville, O., and L. Numbourg, of Fostoria, O.
The workers' committee was composed of
James Campbell, William Jones, "W. H.
Slicker, "William Springer, L. L. Conway
and H. D. Swearer. Mr. Loeffler was Chair
man of the manufacturers' committee and
L. L. Conway, Chairman ot the workers'
committee. D. C. Phillips presided, while
James Campbell and "W. H. Slicker acted as
Secretaries. The pleasantries opened by the
workers' committee announcing that they
would insist upon the advance of over 5 per
cent. The manufacturers stated that under
no circumstances would they get it. This
appeared to settle the discussion, and the
workers left the meeting.
After the meeting President Catlin, of
the Manufacturers' Association, said:
"There is not one manufacturer in .the asso
ciation who will sign the workers' scale.
If that association intends to disrupt the
Manufacturers' Association by presenting
their demands to each individual firm as
they have stated, they will get very badly
left. "When the scale is signed it must be
done by the committee representing the
association or not at all.
"We are in no hurry whatever to resume
work in our factories, There are over
100,000 more boxes of glass on hand now
than there was at this time one year ago.
Until this stock is worked off we are not
solicitious about an early resumption. I
think the scale will be settled next month,,
and we will start to work October L
ABOUT ANOTHER COKE DEAL.
Vacuo Ronton About the Moore Company
Selling- Ont Denied.
A number of vague rumors were flying
about the streets late last night to the effect
that the H. C. Frick Coke Company had
purchased the plant of the Connellsville
Coke Company, and that the same firm
had bought out the J. "W. Moore
Coke Company. About six weeks ago
The Dispatch exclusively announced the
sale of the Leisenring, or Connellsville
Works, to the Frick Company, and also
published details of the negotiations pend
ing between the Frick and Moore Com
panies. For the purpose of ascertaining
if the Moore Company had really sold out,
a reporter called upon a representative of
the latter at his home last night; The
gentleman denied that his firm had sold out,
and said:
"I have been away from home for a day,
and if such a deal was made the negotiations
were completed within that time. If the
sale took place I would know of the dicker,
but In this case I do not believe there is a
word of truth in the rumor so far as it re
lates to our company.
"Mr. Moore was out of town since Satur
day until this morning, when he spent a
few minutes in the office. Mr. Atcbeson
has also been away, and I do not see who
could have been conducting the negotia
tions. I think someone started the old
rumor, which has been written up time and
again in your paper. Nc, I do not know of
any other plant being negotiated for."
SH0ENBERGERS SIGN THE SCALE.
The Firm and the Amalgamated Officials
Come la an Agreement.
Shoenberger & Co. yesterday signed the
Amalgamated scale. During the past
week Mr. Speer and Mr. Steiner, of the
firm, Mr. William WleherJ?reayien,t.of.th.e.
Amalgamated Association, Mr. F. G. Sul
livan and other members of the Mill Com
mittee have had a number of conferences at
the office of the firm. As a result the scale
was signed by both parties yesterday after
noon, and the immense establishment will
go to work on double turn within a few
drys.
The scale is modified somewhat from that
of last year. The firm have introduced
new improved machinery, but the wages
remain substantially the same. This scale
would undoubtedly have been arranged
some time ago, but the extensive alterations
and repairs have prevented the company
from starting the mill until now. The
scale is lor one year from June 30.
INSECTS FROM CUBA.
An Interesting- Exhibition at the Mlcro
ceplsts Rooms.
The Pittsburg Microscopical Society met
last night in their rooms on Penn avenue.
A number of objects were exhibited for the
inspection of the members. Mr. W. J.
Prentice had on exhibition a live horned
toad, which had been sent to him by a
friend in El Paso, Tex. He also had a
rock scorpion, a tarantula and a katydid
from Santiago de Cuba. The animals fur
nished considerable interest and food tor
discussion by the members of the society.
The annual meeting of the Katlonal
American Society of Microscopists will be
held at Buffalo August 20, and will con
tinue in session for four days. The follow
ing members of the Pittsburg society will

Lewis, of Hartford, Conn., President of the
national organization, will deliver a lengthy
address. Dr. C. Q. Jackson, of this city,
will read a paper on "Bacteria in Ice."
The most interesting feature of the meeting
will be the session of working members.
This will be a practical illustration of cut
ting or treating muscles, substances, etc.
There will be present about 200 members.
A number of the Pittsburg representa
tives will go to the annual meeting of the
American Association for the Advancement

DELIRIOUS WITH TIPH0ID.
Cases Increase at the Soatbslde Hospital
and It Grows too Small.
Yesterday Edward Shingler was taken to
the South Twenty-second Street Hospital,
suffering with bad case of typhoid-pneumonia.
He was delirious and tried to jump
out of the window before the nurses could
get him to bed.
There are now four severe cases of typhoid
fever in the hospital. All the beds in the
institution have been filled for several days
and the bouse next door has been brought
into use. The directors of the hospital are
talking of securing a site at the head of the
Twenty-second street incline on which to
erect a new building.

town. It was a pretty sight in the woods last
night. Lights of all kind illuminated a
very dense forest. It is not like the open
grove iu which most campmeetings are
usually held, but is one of the grand, leafy,
silent stretches of forest peculiar to the
Allegheny Mountains. The association owns
about 90 acres, having a frontage of abont
1,000 feet on the south side of the Pennsyl
vania Bailroad and nestling at the foot of
Chestnut Bidge. The ground rises from the
road, shedding the water from the center of
the ridge to both sides. About 20 acres
overlooking the track of the rail
road is cleared and the remainder of
theland,whichliesinan oblongsquare, about
200 feet above the Pennsylvania Bailroad. is
covered with a thick and healthy growth of
second crop forest, in which are located the
cottages and large auditorium, at the edge
of which stands the hotel.
The plan of the encampment proper is in
the form of a six-pointed star, each ray or
point being an avenue. In the center of
this star is located the auditorium on a plot
ot several acres. There are from 125 to 130
good comfortable bouses, two-stories high,
all with the double porch in front.
This ground, bv reason of its freedom from
fogs and its light, dry air and dry winds,
and especially its copious supply ot pure
sott water of Indisputable purity, is some
thing of a sanitarium. It is 48 miles from
Pittsburg.

FLEIION'S 'RETURN.
It IsNetTrneThatHe 1 Unfrnfefol to the
Public He Will Address a Bl Meeting
Next Monday.
John W. Flemon arrived in Pittsburg at
6.30 a. M. yesterday. He was met at the
Baltimore and Ohio depot by some 200
friends and warmly welcomed. Getting into
a cairiage with Colonel Echols, who ac
companied him, he drove at once to the
residence of Bev. G. W. Clinton on Linton
street, dropping Colonel Echols at the Sev
enth Avenue Hotel.
Flemon had breakfast with Mr. Clinton,
and subsequently saw several friends. Ha
declared that he would drop the name of
Yeldell altogether, and assume that of
Flemon henceforth. Last nighta Dispatck
reporter visited Mr. Flemon at his residence
on Logan street. The quondam prisoner
had not thoroughly recovered from the
effects of his recent traveling, though he had
slept soundly until far into the afternoon.
With regard to the report which has been
extensively circulated about his alleged in
gratitude for the kindness of the public,
Mr. Flemon distinctly stated that the rumor
is totally untrue. It emanated from his
enemies in South Carolina.and was intended
to injure his character. He declared
himself quite satisfied with his trial.
The Judge's charge was most impartial,
and he received nothing but courtesy from
the South Carolina officials.
A visit was also made to D. M. Washing
ton's residence on Fulton street. Mr.
Washington announced that the Flemon
relief meeting, advertised for next Friday,
has been postponed to Monday, August 18.
Mr. Flemon will appear and give the history
of his life from childhood. Colonel Echols
will also be present, and will speak on the
subject of Southern jnstice to the colored
race. Tickets for the meeting will be 50 cents
each, and will be on sale at all newspaper
offices. The Flemon committee hope, by
means of the ticket money, to defray the
rest of Flemon's expenses. The meeting
is to be held either iu Lafayette Hall or the
old City Hall. When all the debts have
been paid off, a reception "will be given
Flemon, at which visitors can see him and
converse with him. A meeting will be held
to wind up the affairs of the committees, at
which a vote of thanks will be given to all
beneiactors of Flemon.
