TO HOLD A FAIR.
Mitchell Hose Company Will Endeavor to
Raise Funds for Their I niforms.
At a special meeting of the Mitchell
Hose company, the sulject of holding a
fa.r was under discussion. The meet
ins; was well amended, which shows
how much interest the members take
in the company. 'When the advisa
bility of holding a fair was brought up
all were unanimous in their vote Tor
it and the event will probably take
place in the near future. It was decid
ed to have the affair in the W. W. Watt
building, which Is well suited for the
purpose, it will probably commence
about Xov. 14 and continue for ten
days. A committee to have the general
control of .the affair was appointed
and comprises Peter Kivenburg, Fred
erick Thompson. Frederick Hailey and
Charles Alexander, and they will begin
the work of preparing for it at once.
The fair being 111 such competent hands
can hardly fail to be a success and a
large sum of money will, without doubt,
be ralfed.
T'.ie proceeds will be devoted to pay
ing fur a full-dress uniform for the
company. whi.H I'iiey need very badly.
.MAY ISSUK HONDS.
Tlio People Will Ite (iiven a Chance to
Decide the Question.
There was a special meeting of both
branches of the council last evening,
called to discuss the bridge matter and
make plans for the proper attending
to It. While they were on the subject
they also talked of the safety of the
other bridges in the city . and they will
probably be examined and strength
ened. Xone of the four are In a good
condition and should be attended to at
once. It will be cheaper in the end for
the city If a change were made, as any
Injury done to persons using the
bridges will result in a suit for damages
against the city.
The changes necessary would amount
to about IJ.-j.000, and bonds for this
amount might be Issued by the city.
At tho same time the sewer extension
will be very givat. and whether bonds
for the whole sum will be Issued Is a
question that the people will probably
be given a chance to vote on. It is
thought that the subject will meet vih
general approval, and as it is necessary
will undoubtedly be made.
GEORGE LOWERY ARRESTED.
Did Not Support His Wife in n Proper
Manner.
An Interesting case was held before
Alderman I!unne in whL'h the de
fendant was placed under bail to keep
the peace and to appear at court.
, T here were really two cases. Tile
first one was In which Mrs. George
Lowery was charged with threatening
to take the life of her mother-in-law.
Considerable evidence was heard on
both sides, and a large crowd listened
to the war of words. The alderman,
upon hearing both sides, finally placed
the defendant under bond to keep the
peane and to appear at court.
After this was disposed of Mrs.
Lowery had her husband. George, ar
rested for non-support. She said that
she was obliged to care for herself and
that her husband did nothing to help
sustain her. Mr. Lowery entered bail
for his appearance at court at Alder
man Jones', J. J. 'Lowery becoming his
bondsman.
Thought He W as Lost.
Martin Carroll, of Pike street, an em
ploye of the Delaware and Hudson,
was the cause of much worrlment on
the part of his family on Monday even
ing. 'Mr. Carroll is employed at No. 3
shaft and did not return from work at
his usual hour. The family became un
easy at his nun-appearance and
thought he had met with an accident
or hud become lost In the mines. A
number of men In the vlolnty volun
teered to search for him and they had
gone but a short dNtance, however,
when they met Mr. Carroll corning out.
The reason he did not returry was lie
cause he had to work an extra shift.
The family -were much relieved when he
returned.

Over 300 of the 700 Who Left Alabama
to form a Co-operative Colony in Cou
bulla. Mexico, Head or .Missing.
Washington, Sept. 24. The 400 sit k
and starving negroes at Kagle Pass,
Tet., will have to go to their bonus n
Alabama the best way they can, for the
government has decided that it cu.tnot
pay for their transportation. This de
cision Is simply a new chapter In un
old story. It Is a sad story, too, and if
Its chaiacters were white the sympathy
of u continent would have been long
ago awakened.
dist February 70 negroes, men and
WJinen, were Induced to leave their
homes In Alabama and Oeorgla to go
to the State of Couhulla, 'Mexico, to
form a co-operative colony. The .site
of this new I'topla was at Tlahualllu,
about 200 miles southwest of Kagle
Pass, Tex. Trouble began as soon as
the negroes reached their destination
and their caifliitlon has been growing
from bud to worse ever since.
Early In July forty-two members of
the colony, convinced of the peril of
their position, broke away from the
colony and lied to the north, it was re
ported to the state department that
thirty-two had been killed, but this
was never confirmed.
. About the middle of July the colored
colonists revolted again, nnd many of
thm started on foot for the Pnlted
States. They wvre absolutely without
food or clothing and for weeks were
compelled to eat the beans of the mes
qulte bushes and drink the brackish
branch water. iMany of them died on
Mils perilous Journey and were buried
by the survivors under a pile of stones
In the rude fashion so common In Mexi
co. No one knows how ninny died on
this Journey and no one seems to care.
A few weeks ago the poor, wasted ne
groes began to drag themselves into the
City of Torreon, on the Mexican Inter
national railway. They were destitute
of food and of clothing. They looked
like wild men. Finally 153 collected ut
Torreon, lucking the courage to go
farther. Smallpox ihroke out among
them, and .the emaciated and exhausted
men and women fell easy victims of
the plague. IMany died. The Mexican
authorities caused the darkies to be cor
ralled like a drove of afflicted beasts,
lest they should spread the contagion.
Late In July, on the representation
that the negroes were dying of starva
tion, as Well as disease, the war depart
ment granted 1.51)0 rations, which were
Issued to Fort Houston, Tex., and sent
to Kugle Pass. There they were fed
and housed In twenty-five tents, also
supplied by the war department. An
other Issue of rations became neces
rary, and twenty-five days' rations for
