THE ACQUITTED PEEACHER GLAD, likewise Two of His Attorneys, That His faith Was Finn. COL. ECHOLS AKD JIB. BALDWIN SPEAK The campmeetinc of the colored people at Wilkinsburg GroTe yesterday -was a com plete success. A larger or more respectable crowd has seldom been seen in any gather ing of this kind. The colored people had flocked from all points of the compass, and each was arranged in his best, and his most elegant smile. High stiff hats, Prince (Albert coats, gold-headed canes and fash lioi ionable attire of all kinds were there. Nearly as many whites as colored folk were present, drawn there no donbt by the report that the Kev. E. F. Flemon. would speak, and by heir desire to see the far famed preacher. Kev. G. F. Clinton, pastor of the Arthur Street 1L E. Church, acted as master of ceremonies, and introduced the various speakers. There was very good singing in the grove, and plenty of it; in deed, this is almost a foregone conclusion when the colored people have charge. COLONEL ECHOLS TALKS. After the prayer, by Eev. Mr. Flemon, Colonel John "W. Echols, the attorney who had defended him against a South Carolina gallows, was introduced as the first orator of the day. He spoke briefly of the interest he had taken in Flemon and of his feelings for those of his clients whom he had suc ceeded in saving from the gallows. He drew very appropriate morals from the 'whole occurrence and argued that the col ored people should aim at a higher standard of manhood. There were two chief ways he would suggest to secure this end. The first was by means of education; the second, an increased effort on the part of the colored people to become land proprietors. He spoke feelingly of his interest in the colored race and expressed the hopes he entertained for their future prosperity. JIajor J. H. Baldwin, another of the at torneys interested in the Flemon case, was the next speaker. He claimed tbat the colored race should aim not only at theat tainment of manhood, but of Christian manhood. The hand of God had been plainly visible in all that had happened to the colored race. The acquittal of Flemon marked a new era in the history lot that race. Just as Flemon had been defended successfully from his enemies in the South, so should the 7,000,000 of his fellow people down there be defended. IT "WAS A SHAME that throughout the whole of the North not a single organization existed among colored men for the protection of their brethren. Let Pittsburg take the lead in this, and all the other cities would lollow her example. He advanced, in addition, a most effective plea to have the debts contracted in the late trial obliterated, and his words had quite a larked effect on his hearers. During an intermission a collection was taken, and Eev. Mr. Flemon busied himself in disposing of tickets lor his lecture to night. Afterward he made a few remarks from the platform, expressing his pleasure at being present, and his thanks to all who had helped him in his late trouble. He drew a powerful moral from his own ex perience. He had always trusted in God, and when he was taken South, placed in the hands of his enemies, and almost brought face to face with death, that trust had never weakened. That it was not without a strong foundation was shown by his acquittal, and he appealed to his audience not to desert a God of such goodness. The colored ladies present were intensely affected, and their halleluiahs and aniens were especially fervent. The campmeeting will be concluded next Sunday. KIKE OUT OP TH1ETI-SEVEN. Big John Sullivan Among: the Pugnacious Recruits for Prison. There were 40 prisoners in Central station yesterday morning, 37 of whom were tried there and three sent to the Twelfth ward station for a hearing. Nine of the Central station cases were sentenced to the work house and the balance were let off with light fines and sentences. Garb Smith was sent up for 30 days on complaint of his wife, who said he had been on a drunk for two weeks and was of no use to anyone. Kate Thompson, for fighting on "Water street, James Drown and Kate Lutz for disturbing the neighborhood on Old avenue, and Phoebe "Wedlock, for disorderly conduct, each got 30 days. John Laughlin, a vag, got GO days at his own request. Rich ard Thomas, for assaulting Belle Morgan at a house on First avenue, also got 30 days. Michael Nagle was drunk Saturday night and amused himself by throwing cobble stones on Carmel alley, striking several per sons; he got 30 days. John Sullivan, in spite of the Mississippi warning, was caught in the act of throwing a little man over a high fence on Bedford avenue. He- explained by saying the little man was drunk and ought to be put out of sight. John got 30 days and can t go out on bail like the other John. Dan McAvery and Albert Price partici pated in a Saturday night row between their families on Soho street. McAvery paid $5 and costs and Price got 30 days. Of the total number arrested 12 were drunkards, and each paid his fine. ASPHALTUil BLOCK MATTEES. The PhilndelphK Firm to Erect a Block Factory at New Castle. r The laying of asphaltum blocks on Fed eral street is progressing rapidly, and within a few days the experimental square will be finished. There are 1,100 square yards in the section being relaid and the ex pense will be about (2,600. It is learned that the Philadelphia firm, which owns or controls the patents nnder which the block is put .upon the market, has secured some land in New Castle upon -which a branch factory will be erected within a few months. This is said to be for the purpose of saving freight upon block nsed in the two cities. But it also indicates that the firm has hopes of a whacking.big contract from somebody not a thousand miles from New Castle. ONE WHO D1D.NT ESCAPE. John Mackin Sent Up for 30 Days for Helping Another Fellow On". Late Saturday night Officer McCormack arrested a youne man at the corner of Car son and South Twenty-sixth streets, for dis orderly conduct John Mackin interfered, and the young man escaped Officer Francis Carroll then arrested Mackin and locked him up in the Twenty-eight ward station.

At 2 r. it. yesterday the Single Tax League met at the hall of the Union Veter an Legion, on Sixth avenue, to listen to an address upon "Man's Natural Eight to Land," by Mr. L J. Quinn, who said: "In the beginning the world was created with fixed laws to govern its action and the actions of its inhabitants. All men are bound by, and are equal under these laws and have equal privileges. One of these privileges is an equal right to the ownership of land by each and every man. Now as all land will not yield the same return for the same amount of labor expended upon it, all men will seek tosup port themselves upon the ground requiring the least quantity of manual work. The owners of the better kind of land should therefore be required to give an equivalent to the Government for the value of the land above the margin of cultivation. "In this country, however, men havebeen deprived of their natural right to land, and by the very ones who, though they fought for liberty in the Rebellion, had not the courage to insert this principle in the Con stitution. This duty now devolves upon the present generation. Do we not see on all sides of us the evidence of the injustice of our present system. Men out of work, women and children starving, vice and crime spreading, and need I point out the remedy? "You all know that the single taxorf land is the only remedy. It will give steady em ployment to everv man, spread peace through all the nations, destroy avarice and greed and spread abundance on all sides. Let us then be united in our action. Let us force concessions from the two great parties by sheer power of numbers. Among the many things we should do is insist on the re duction of the tariff, that exorbitant and un just tax, oppose all taxes in the States that oppose the people, and not on land values, assist all schemes for the repeal of the old tax laws and support every candidate for election who we know entertains our views. If we do this we may be sure that the single tax on land will eventually triumph." E0W AT A CAMPMEETING. Two Colored Damsels Fight Over the Pos session of One Bean "While the services were at their height in the campmeeting of the colored folk at "Wilkinsburg Grove yesterday, two dusky damsels were actively engaged in a most bitter fight. They showed conclusively that the clouds of war are liable to break in upon the most peaceful and religious gathering. One of the young women had come to the meeting with an escort, and, 'while she was in another part of the grove, the services of this gentleman were appropriated by dam sel No. 2. This enterprising lady sent the gentleman after something and, during his absence, No. 1 put in an appearance. "What you mean, woman," she shouted, "taking my fellah? I came to the meeting with that "man." The other replied that she didn't care whose fellow he was, as long as she was with him. Then they went for one another, and the way in which bonnets were smashed, hair pulled, faces scratched and clothes disarranged was a caution. The fight was finally stopped, but not before it had caused amusement for those looking on. The belligerent parties were dragged away, heaping imprecations on the beads of each other, and laying claim to the ownership of "that fellow" in the most earnest manner. PLEDGES AT THE PLAT. A Novel Flan of Making Ten Nights In a Barroom Quito Effective. In connection with Theatrical Manager P. Harris' telegram last night to Harry Shwab, of this city, to keep "Ten Nights in a Barroom" on the stage at Hams' Theater for at least three nights more, the latter gentleman has a novel scheme. It is this, and he will endeavor to bring it to a head: To set aside one of the nights and designate it as "temperance night," inviting local temperance leaders, including' T. "Edward Murphy, to be present with pledges, and circulate them for signature at the most telling part of the performance. The old play is certainly a most dramatic temper ance lecture in itself, and the plan, to make it doubly so, is at least novel in conception. GRAND ARMY EXCURSIONS Over the Pennsylvania Lines .

TEACTS IS PLACE OF YEHICLE TICKETS If a student of human nature wished to depict it in either burning poetry or staid prose he could probably do no better than to get a position as toll collector on a bridge. He would strike all the phases of humanity ever depicted by Dickens, and a great many others that even the fertile mind of that ge nius never conceived. He would come in contact with men who would risk limb and sometimes life to save their paper from going to protest, but who would think nothing of losing time worth a dime in the concoction of a scheme to beat a hard-worked toll collector out of a cent. Mr. Gheinor, who takes toll at the north end of the Smithfield street bridge, can tell some queer experiences, and doubt less any observant man who has filled a like position for six months could tell something similar. The writer recollects the time when the toll on the bridge was 2 cents, and the temptation to evade it, in consequence, 100 per cent greater than it is now. One day an ancient and wealthy granger with patriarchal beard of'theNorth-of-England cut, such as the Kernells affect on the stage, was heard remarking as follows to his son, a lad of 10 years, as they stood opposite the Monongahela House: WHERE HE -WAS WRONG. "The man that takes the money will be busy for some time, and I think we can sneak over without paying." The dutiful boy saw no harm in anything legalized by his progenitor. They proceeded to sneak, going on the opposite side of the bridge from the collector. They had miscalculated, however. He caught them in one corner of his eye, and howled at them. The old man was so badly frightened that he scooted across and threw down 4 cents, and could not be induced to wait to hear the collector's explanation that only 2 cents were wanted, and that 10-year-old boys were not chargea ble. The next day was Sunday, and the old agricnlturist found it necessary to again cross the bridge with the boy In order to at tend church. He didn't try to sneak this time, but again threw down 4 cents. The collector .had a con science, and called after the old man that toll was not wanted; but the ancient pil grim was too much frightened to hear, and so was out 4 cents in his effort to beat the corporation out of 2. Conscience made a coward of him. This man was an elder in a country church, and his word was as good as his bond; but he held that "Opposition to tyrants is obedience 'to God," and all cor- E orations were tyrannical, in his moral orizon. There was and is still also a streak of meanness running all through his moral make-up. .COLLECTING LITTLE TBACTS. These bridge corporations issue vehicle tickets; and when a toll-taker is very busy he frequently finds that in his hurry he has taken up instead of a bridge ticket one of a similar color bearing such inscriptions as "Pray -without ceasing," or some other pious admonition, issued by Sunday schools. The United Kingdom sends a great many citizens to this country who for many years persistently object to paying toll, demand ing to know of the collector how Columbia can be a free country when people must pay toll to pass from one part of a city io an other. One of the inducements held ont"by polit ical annexationists to the Southsiders to get them to vote for consolidation was that the bridges would be free when consolidation was secured; and it got many votes, as 54 a year saved was supposed to compensate thousands for necessarily increased taxa tion. One bibulous citizen who lived on Mt. Washington had a row with David Barker, almost nightly for years after con solidation, on this subject, and never yielded save when it became either a question of compliance or a trip to the lockup. Dudes who take their girls 'out for a promenade are a source of much trouble to the collector. They walk on the opposite side oi the bridge from him, and when called to book, assert tbat they didn't know it was a toll bridge. If the collector happens to be in a hurry they frequently succeed in escaping him, as he cannot follow them. AIT INTERROGATION POINTER. Some people regard the toll collector as a guide board, and ask him innumerable questions about the time trains leave and about many other things. If the collector understands his business he answers all questions not positively insulting, amiably, Dut this suavity only comes of experience, and is only learned in the school of philosophy and ,'self-mortlfication. Some are'very ob tuse, and it is difficult to make them under stand that the collector really wants the pal try hali-penny demanded Some are ab sorbed in a reverie, and forget, while con templating the new Baltimore and Ohio Railroad station, the existence of a toll taker. Then there is the dignified drunk ard, who goes to sleep while searching his pockets for a cent. On Saturday nights people who havebeen "setting 'em up again," to the extent of probably several dollars, grow very poor be fore they go home, and will stand from 11 until tZ o'clock within a square of a bridge, awaiting the striking of (he town bell which announces the first day of the week, and enables them to cross without paying a cent. On Sunday night, when they have tarried long with their best girls, they forget that the striking of the bell announces Monday, and persist that they won't pay toll on Sun day. There are on the Smithfield street bridge some 900 renters, and sometimes the collec tors forget some of their faces,and frequently their demand to see a commutation ticket is the prelude to a row. If you haven't the patience of Job and the philosophy of a Stoic don't apply for the position as toll collector on a bridge, for, unless so gifted, yon will not live out half your days, and those you do have will be robbed of all sweetness and light.

Johnston at the First Presby terian Church Yesterday He Preached on i the Feahy Which Man Owes to God. Kev. "W. F. Johnston, D. D., President of Biddle University, Charlotte, N. C, preached yesterday evening, at 7:45 at the First Presbyterian Church, "Wood street. He took for his text Matt. xi. 29 and 30: "Tate my yoke upon you and learn of me, for I am meek and loving in heart; and ye shall find rest unto your souls" "For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Enlarging upon these divine words, he emphasized the truth of the dogma that God's burden was a light one. It was necessary for man strong as his spirit might be to bow to this yoke and to carry this burden. The proudest and loftiest monarch of the forest may be enwrapped in clinging ivy. The ivy is' .on Northern shores. The Greek lorms of worship appeal only to the philosopher, the poet and the sage. To the ignorant, and, indeedj to the ordinary man, they would be inexplicable. Bnt Christianity, on the other hand, will suit the minds of Northern and Eastern, learned and unlearned alike. There is no country in which Christianity would seem out of place. This shows the, wonderlul nature of the yoke we are called upon to bear. Man.musthavesome master. If he accept not Goa for his master he must of necessity accept the devil. There is no choioc left to him. The preacher closed his sermon with a few glowing words in which he exhorted all present to accept Christ's yoke and Christ's burden is not a yoke, but itis so light that it is scarcely to be felt, and it immeasurably brightens and beautifies the tree. The yoke which God imposes is that of Christianity, and the ycke must be borne in a proper manner. Christianity is a faith made by God so as to suit the temperament of every man, to whatsoever nation he may belong. This can be said of no other form of worship. The sensuality of Mahomedanism wouldill-suitthe fierce Norseman or the Sax on with his sturdy, honest soul. The ascetic teachings of the Brahmin religion wonld be equally out of place,only as the lightest and the most profitable, but also as the noblest and the best. TO KEEP THE SABBATH. Rot. B. L. Herr Preaches on This Subject at Fourth Avenne Church. Bev. Benjamin Ii. Herr, of Tarrytown, N. Y., preached last evening at the Fourth Avenue Baptist Church. His text was Ex odus xx, 8-11: "Bemember the Sabbath day, keep it holy." The preacher, who is a son of Bev. Dr. Herr, some time pastor of one of the Pittsburg Baptist churches, delivered an interesting discourse, dealing with Sun day desecration. He called upon all those of the congregation who employed drivers to drive them to church not to debar these drivers from attending services also, but to insist that they also enter the sacred portals and keep Sunday as he thought it ought to be kept namely, in prayer and thanks giving. CONDUCTED BI THE BISHOP. A Special Communion Service Held for Colored Visitors. Yesterday afternoon communion service was held in St. Peter's Church, Pittsburg, for the benefit of some colored visitors to the city. Bishop "Whitehead preached and described the nature and origin of the sacra ment, dwelling graphically upon the tender incidents of the last supper of Christ. This service is usually held in Trinity Church; but, for the benefit ot the colored communicants, the Bishop caused it to take place in St. Peter's.
