The Commission's Meeting is Called for Wednesday Next. POSSIBIEB EASTERN OBSTACLES, Treasurer Thompson's Individual Yiews and Inside Facts. 2IH. MAETIK SOT TET EEADX.TO TALE There was a rumor current yesterday that several members of the Governor's Belief Commission were opposed to the rapid dis- tribution of the relief fund in Johnstown. This opposition was reported to come prin- cipally from the eastern members. W. E. Thompson, Treasurer of the fund, asked on this very point, said: "I cannot positively say whether there will be any opposition by the commission in regard to placing the money or not; but for myself, I shall advocate the quickest possible distribution of the fund. I am of opinion an opinion formed by a close ttudy of the situation that the sooner the money is placed in the hands of the people, the better it will be for all parties concerned. "Why should we hold it back? The people of Johnstown are not children, and they are tired of the sort of 'parental authority the commission exercises over them, and they want to regain control of their own business. A JFOKIUDABLE FEATUKE. "Another feature to be taken into consid- eration is the fact that many people, know- ing that they are to receive money, are lay- ing back waiting for it. If they had the amount coming to them, and knew that they could not obtain any further supplies, they would soon become Of course, immediately after the disaster, when the people were paralyzed with the enormity of their loss, there was a need of some one to say to them what to do and how to do it; but that day is past the people now are able and willing to take hold for themselves. "Up to last night I have distributed about 5150,000, and there is $50,000 more in the vaults of the first National Bank to commence on "We shall probably put out in the city about $1,000,000, and in my opin- ion we can't do it any too soon. I admit that I had serious doubts of the practibility of so doing a week or so ago; but, after hav- ing been among the people of Johnstown, I have become thoroughly convinced that thev are to be trusted to act for themselves. They are principally of Welch o'r German extraction, and are consequently very thrifty. ON DEPOSIT AT ONCE. "I was talking to the acting cashier of the First National Bank a day or so ago and he remarked that the deposits had in- creased most materially since the commis- sion had begun the distribution. "Why, we have cashed $5,000 in checks here at our home office in the past week. That does not look much like squandering their money, docs it? And another thing: the people are nearly all educated; we do not find above 5 per cent who cannot write their name. They are the same class of saving people one meets at the Dollar Savings Bank here on Saturday afternoon depositing their surplus. The Cambria Iron Company will soon be able to o0er work to nearly as many men as previous to the. flood. At their end of the town all is life and earnestness. The steam is pouring from the furnaces, and the little engine darting here and there with its load of freight. The ruined portion is being rapidly rebuilt, and will soon be completely restored. "What we should do is to distribute the money as rapidly as consistent with thor- oughness, deliver the city into the charge of its citizens and withdraw, with the firm conviction that we have done all that was possible under the circumstances." mb. aiAEvnr S. S. Marvin was interviewed on the same subject, and said: "I am not prepared to make any statement in regard to the matter at present. The commission will have a meeting at Johnstown on the 31st inst, when, beyond doubt, the question will be discussed, and upon the evidence brought iornard I shall advocate the adoption of the plan which seems to be of the most interest to all parties interested,and I have no doubt that every member of the commission will do the same. It would be impossible to find a more capable or upright body of men than the present Belief Committee, and they will make no mistake, you may be sure of it They have only the welfare of the Johns- town citizens at heart." Messrs. James B. Scott and Beuben Miller, the remaining members of the local commission, were out of town. Telegrams for the opinions of Mayor Fitler, of Phila- delphia, and Governor Beaver met with like results no response. The reports of extensive frauds in the ob- taining of checks is denied by Tieasurer Thompson. Many people have made false statements to the local committee; but, when it comes to swearing to the same in the Treasurer's office, they generally weaken and confess the fraud. INCLUDING THE OTHER JOHNSTOWN. Contributions for Flood Sufferers From a Namesake of Experience. Contributionsto the Johnstown relief fund for Thursday and Friday amounted to 55,-7- 44, making the total $772,519 44. The items were: Employes of the Chicago Wire Spring Com- pany.

Local Clergymen Talk of Postponing a'Trlp to the Holy Land. A meeting of local ministers who con- templated a trip to Palestine was to have taken place yesterday, but, owing to the absence of Dr. D'Has'ee, was adjourned. The object was to discuss the advisability of postponing the trip for a month or two, be- cause fever is very prevalent in the Holy Land during the months of September and October. The Daly Inqaeit. At the Coroner's inquest on John Daly, who died at the Homeopathic Hospital Thursday night, as is alleged, from a blow administered by John McNally, Sr., W. C. Malone and Angust Bollin testified that they saw McNally hit Daly and knock him down. The inquest was adjourned until to- day at 11 o'clock.

F. lb Pope, expert electrician of the Westlnghouse Company, returned to his homo in New York last night, accompanied by Charles A. Terry, Esq. When the electrician became aware of the presence of a reporter, he said: "Well, if yon want anything new. yon can ot this down: Pittsburg produces now about 6,000 horse power of electricity every day. which is more than is produced by any other city In the United States, not even ex- cepting New York.

The good this noble society has already done in affording healthful outings to poor little waifs is best evidenced by this need of extending the work. William Crosby, the genial hotel clerk of tbe Anderson, has been on a vacation for two weeVs, and he came back yesterday look- ing as brown as a berry. "I have been at St. Clair Springs," he said, "and had a very nice time, indeed. It was only too short, that's all. I tell you there is a good deal of fun In it. If a a man can be his own boss, even for two weeks." Mr. Bichard Brokaw and wife will spend some weeks in Mercer county.

Mrs. William McCreery and daughter and Mrs. Judge Ewing spent yesterday in Johnstown. They were much pleased with the work that had been done by the local Ladies' Committee, and surprised at the progress in every department of the work of building a new Johnstown. J. O. Brown, Chief of the" Department of Public Safety, took tbe train for Harrisburg last night. "There is nothing new under the sun, my boy," he replied to tbe stereotyped interrogatory of the reporter. "The city is awfully quiet, and I am going East for a change of air." Mr. E. Gear, of We'llsville, N. Y., formerly member of the Sixty-fir- Pennsylva- nia Volunteers, and well known as a gallant old soldier, is in the city on business and call- ing on his numerous G. A. It. friends. Mr. S.

Pittsburg's Bottle Blowers Meet and Talk the Thins; Over. The local lodge of Pittsburg bottle blowers held a meeting last night at K. of L. Hall, heard and adopted the report of delegates at the recent convention in At- lantic City. President Campbell's action in behalf of L. A. 3X), in the importation of foreign labor, was discussed. There was manifest a feeling among the members of the organization to sift the matter through. The meeting was adjourned until August 23, when further action will be taken n the Campbell case. AS BAD AS POSSIBLE. That In the Diagnosis of Many Typhoid Case In Hospital. The number of typhoid casei now in the Allegheny General Hospital is 35. All of these are not virulent, but the doctor in charge stated last night 'that several are about as bad as they can be. One death oc- curred yesterday, but it is doubtful whether typhoid was the cause. The influx of typhoid patients began at the hospital about five weeks ago, and has been steadily in- creasing ever since. DELIRIOUS AND INJURED. A Gentleman Who Went Out for a Walk and Landed In n Hospital. John Flannigan, of 207 Third avenue, went out for a walk on Sunday morning, and the next his relatives heard of him was that he was lying at the Homeopathic Hospital with a fractured leg.

BENTLEY TALKS ENIGMATICALLY The colored people held another meeting in the Franklin street schoolhouse last nightIsaac "Washington presiding, M. K. Holloand Secretary. Broadax Smith, who saya he isn't rever- end, made his presence felt for the first time in these meetings. t The first question presented wax as to the amount owed the janitor. Mr. Foster stated that he claimed three nights' pay de- linquent. Chairman "Washington said he had paid two nights' rent for the' hall, and but one was owing, and Mr. Foster was sent to hunt the janitor. Meantime Bevs. Pryor and Smith reported the interview of the committee sent to Union-tow- n to confer with Governor Beaver. Mr. Smith refused to be dubbed "Rever- end," but preferred to put himself in the same class with an Eastern preacher whose title is D. D. D. D. D. D., decided decliner of the dubious degree of doctor of divinity. Mr. Smith said he'd rather be called Broad- ax. Mr. Smith thonght that sufficient effort to get money had not been made. He said there were lots of rich white men in this city who expressed pity and Mr. Smith wanted them to have them express it in dol- lars and cents. Broadax said it wouldn't be any harm TO WOKK ON SUNDAY, and let all the preachers in the city wrestle with their congregations. He expressed an opinion that proper effort, backed with money, would save Flemon. Mr. Foster again insisted that means be raised to send some famous lawyer to South Carolina, for Mr. Foster felt in his osseous structure that Flemon would go back to the Palmetto State. Mr. "Wright reported that a gentleman named Colonel Scott and others had given him some cash for the cause, --and Colonel Scott had said he would stand with the col- ored people to see that Flemon should .not be taken back. A man addressed the Chair and said if South Carolina were civilized it would be all right to allow Flemon to go back, but not as the case stands. This man rerused to give his name, as he said he lived in the South and was a lawverand did not propose to give his name. He said the Bepublican party had done wrong in allowing those d, perjured wretches to come back to Congress after fighting tour years to de- stroy the Government. This anonymous gentleman said the only way the negroes conld get their rights was to arm and fight for them, "If you say this man shan't go back he will not be taken. Applause. The colored people must imitate the whites in their hieher civilization and not in their vices. I am astonished to find men smoking in this hall In the South we tried to pray this tyranny down, tried singing it down, tried voting it down, but now they proposed TO FIOHT IT DOTVN. "It's as much of a pleasure to die for the right as to be born, we must not smoke or chew tobacco, as we cannot afford it. Let us work, save money and get homes and in- fluence." Mr. Isaac Morton moved the appointment of a committee on resolutions. Voices What's resolutions? Mr. Morton Resolutions is resolutions. Broadax essayed to make a speech, when 'Mr. Morton attempted to interject, but Broadax said: "You can't say what I want to say. We want to get up resolutions in the spirit of the Southern brother who has jnst spoken. If we don't talk out plainly these white men at Harrisburg will look at your committee and ask: 'Where's the rest of your niggers?' " Mr. Morton's motion prevailed, and Messrs. Isaac Morton, B. F. Stewart, Joseph "W Taylor, Bev. P. W. Douse, and tbe Southern unknown wero appointed the com- mittee. This action smoked the unknown out and induced him to tell his name, and when all came out he was found to be Prof. H. M. Rankin, of the Western Tennessee University, Memphis. When the committee retired a lone and 'angry discussion ensued as to the advisabil ity ol tbe a inance uommmee making a ret port. Mr. Chilton opposed for reasons he pre- ferred to keep to himself. Amid angry con- troversy and innumerable points of order Broadax Smith squelched all advocates of a report by stating that there were abundant reasons why the committee should work in the dark and not expose its aims and give away facts to the newspapers. The question of sending & moral influence committee caused a long discussion, but finally Bevs. Pryor, Bentley, Clinton, J. J. Jones, McMillen and Watson, and Laymen James Smith and Broaaax Smith were ap pointed. THE UNLUCKY THIRTEEN. Bev. Bentley was in trouble regarding the more or less mythical committee of thir- teen. Mr. Bentley wanted to know what the organization is, was or had been. Mr. Foster replied that it was a ghost The Chair was in favor of smoking that com- mittee out. He said the only body known was that which meets in the Franklin schoolhouse. Mr. D. M. Washington said that, so far as he could learn, the "committee of thirteen" was composed of James Haskins, 'of No. 46 Wilson street. He could not find that this POWEE committee had done anything. Broadax Smith, like Betsy Prigg, believes there ain't no Mrs. Harris. , Bev. Bentley said a little gray-haire- d man on one of the newspapers told him- - qf the committee. l Broadax Smith said he had been told toe committee was mostly composed of black men, but had some "ornary" white mem- bers. Cries-Honora- Broadax Well, you know what I mean, anyhow. Business was suspended to hear the re- port of receipts for the evening. They were $31 25. Bev. Bentley I've been urging peace and regularity, good order, etc., and pray- ing for it, but if Mr. Flemon dies in Pitts- burg I'm one who will assist to give him a decent funeral and build a monument to his memory. Sensation. The Resolution Committee reported as follows: i BEPOBT OP THE COMMITTEE. Whereas, We, tbe colored people of West- ern Pennsylvania, having for1 several weeks past had the case of Bev. C'F. Flemon, of South Carolina, under consideration, do pro- claim to the citizens of Pennsylvania and the States of tbe Union tbat we believe tbat tbe charge made against Rev. E. F. Flemon by the State of Booth Carolina for tbe murder of Mr. James Black-wel- l, of Edgefield county, of said State. Octo- ber 29, 1884, Is false and without foundation, upon which tbey seek by requisition on tba Governor of Pennsylvania tbe return "of said Bev. Flemon back to Sooth Carolina to answer said charge made to him. Whereas, We further believe that the death of said James Blaclcwell was tbe result ot a political riot In which many were engaged and that many colored men lost their lives; and farther, we believe tbat tbe State ot South Carolina seeks tbe return of said Flemon for theipnrpose of Intimidating tbe colored people of Edgefield county in the assertion of their political right": we further petition tbe Gov- ernor of Pennsylvania to use every legal means to thoroughly Investigate the charge made against Rev. Flemon and the circumstances leading to th death ot James Blaclcwell before surrendering the prisoner to the officials of Boutn uarouna. Jfeiolved, That we, the colored citizens cl Pennsylvania, will use all honorable and lawful means within our power to defend the pris- oner, and would ask all citizens to join us in the issue, that justice may be done tba most bumble citizen, "and especially throughout tbe South, where the negro is de- nied his political and civil rights. Signed by the committee, B. F. Swtwabt. Secretary. FOE PINANCIAIi SEASONS. The Chair announced that as Monday night was tbe best on which to make collec- tions, it would be the night of meeting here- after. x As a parting shot, Mr. Foster again de- manded that some lawyer, a rebel Brigadier, be hired to defend Flemon in South Caro- lina. Sheriff McCandless yesterday received an order from Governor Beaver asking that Flemon be held until after Tuesday. Flemon is ordered to appear by counsel at Harrisburg on Tuesday next to make good the facts set forth in his petition, and the Sheriff of Allegheny county directed to hold him, Flemon, until a decision is rendered, notice to be given to the Governor of South Carolina, who may also be heard in person or by counsel, the hearing to take place at 4 o'clock P. M. ASKING FOR FAVORS. Green Bottle Blowers Desirous of the Win- dow Glass Men' If They Should Strike The Matter Not Yet Set- tled. A joint conference was held in Philadel- phia the other day between committees of District Assemblies Nos; 119 and 143 of the Green Bottle Blowers and a committee of L. A. No. 300, Window Glass Workers. The object of the green bottle blowers was to induce the window glass men to act in harmony with them during a strike. The fact of the matter is that the green bottle blowers have lost a Uvr factories out West, and, of course,are anxious to get them back. The conference was attended by a commit- tee from L. A. 300, composed of Joseph Biggins, William Wallace and Emil Gon-tier- e. After discussion the green glsss workers presented the following paper: "Whereas, We consider It inconsistent for one department of trade to assist any corpora- tion to subordinate another department of trade where both are members of the K. of L; therefore. Resolved. That the joint committees of D. A.'s 119 and 113 request K A 300 to deter mak-ln- e contracts for tbe coming season with tbe manufacturers who operate nod-unio-n bottle factories in connection with union window fac- tories, until such manufacturers agree to oper- ate their bottle factories according to tbe regu- lations of the Knights of Labor. Then the discussion was continued, and the committees exchanged their views as to what factories were meant. At the close of the meeting the green bottle blowers passed a resolution that they would assist the win- dow glass workers whenever they had any strike by paying them benefits, and in re- turn they expect the same it they should happen to be in any strike. This conference is, so far, of some import- ance because the ereen bottle blowers were the first who urged an investigation into the charges against President Campbell and L. A. 300 for importing foreign glass workers. What will be done in the matter by the window glass men cannot be stated. The committee will refer the question to the Ex- ecutive Council of the Window Glass Workers' Association. PLASTERERS WANT Tbey Object to Having Lathing Done by In- capable Bovs or Others., It was stated by one "of the members of the Plasterers' Beneficial and Protective Association, of Pittsburg, yesterday after- noon that on tbe 1st of August all the plasterers of this city will strike, unless the contractors allow them to do lathing as well as plastering. This matter came tinder discussion at the National Plasters' Convention in St Paul, Minn. Delegates from all over the country complained that lathing is at present not only done by but a good deal or tbe wore is also done by boys, Who get $2 CO, while the plasterer makes (3 CO. A resolution was passed that any branch of the association desiring to strike to fight this question might do-so-', end that they would be supported. There are about 400 plasterers in the city, and thqy are determined to strike next week unless they are given lath ing as well as plastering. A number of them sav that on account of the work being done by boys plastering is made not only difficult, but is dorc so badly that the safety of the bouse is affected. SEWEB P PE TBUST. The Smaller Mnnnfac carers Burst ItbyUn-deraelll- ni thoTrnst. The Sewer Pipe T. ust, which was formed last spring by the lai est sewer pipe manu- facturers of this couitry at the Hotel An- derson, is said to have burst, and the price of sewer pipe is now reported to be lower than ever. As a reason for this change the fact is cited that the Globe Sewer Pipe Company, the head of the trust, failed to take in some of the smaller concerns. The result has been these little fellows have un- dersold them , to s ich an extent that the trust could not com- - ete. A NEW AIL GAUGE. It Pats Pittsburg Din: infactareraon an Equal Footlnc V Ilh Wheeling. The new nail gati ;e, made by the Amal- gamated Association some time ago, pre- sents many advuftages to Pittsburg nail manufacturers. Jit enables them to compete with Wheeling nail men, which they could not do formerly, as Amalgamated men worked cheaper in Wheeling than here. This will probably prompt the Pittsburg nail men to resume work as soon as possible. Walton's Mines la Operation. All the mines of Joseph Walton & Co., in the Second pool of the Monongahela river, started up yesterday, the miners cents per bushel. Thisisone-quarte- T ot a cent less than is paid in the Third and Fourth pools, and the manufact urers are congratulating themselves. They Met at Last. Superintendent M. L.

Tbe Pastor and Trustees Disagree Over Some Missing Funds. PROCEEDINGS TO CLAIM BUPREHACT An advertisement appeared in a Pittsburg paper yesterday warning all persons against negotiating with parties representing the Siioam Baptist Church, East Liberty, or soliciting money on the church property. An information was found to have been made before Alderman Gripp the first week in May against B. Jones, Joseph Douglass, J. J. Crawford and John. Chase, charged by John Lightfoot with having taken the keys of' the Sunday school of the church, of which they had been official members, and suing for the return of somo books, etc Further seaich led the Teporter to the home of Bev. W. Duvall, colored, pastor of the church, on Breckenridge avenue. Mrs. Duvall called Sister Phillips, a member of the church, into the house, and the follow- ing allegations went forth, as if on the breeze: THE MONET ADBIFZ. The Siioam Colored Baptist Church, nntil about a year ago, had been prosperous and represented a congregation of 140 zealous Christian workers, who took every means in their power to advance the cause of re- ligion and build up the church. They wor- shiped in the rear of Libetty Hall, East End. About the time stated they decided that, with combined efforts, they would try to build a church of their own. Option" was obtained on a little plat on Hiland avenue, and each Sunday a collection was taken and the amount donated toward the church and the amount yet needed to pay for tbe land, announced. Bev. Mr. Duvall was on the Board of Trustees and had assisted in the financial matters. Soon a cloud hovered over the little con- gregation. A day of reckoning came, and officers of the chnrch tried to balance ac- counts of the amount paid in and that on hand. BOT1I DEFICIT AND MUDDLE. There was a deficit. There was an awful mix. A member of the church, according to the ladies interviewed, accused the pastor, at church board meetings, of being responsi- ble for the missing money, about 100. The preacher brought counter charges, and the congregation split Twenty-fiv- e left the church and rented Armory Hall, East End, and "set out for themselves." The reporter was told, by tbe ladies inter- viewed and several others, that the party making the accusations against Mr. Duvall was arrested on information of Mr. Duvall before Alderman Gripp, and was now out on bail, but the Alderman's clerk could not find the information last night, and did not know whether such a case had gone to court or not. After the faction had left the church the remaining members excommunicated the dissenters and claimed to be the original Siioam Church, while the faction claim they are the original chnrch and the others the faction. The faction tried to get pos- session of some of the property, and, accord- ing to allegations of Mr. Lightfoot in the information cited, CABBIED OJT THE SETS to the Sunday school room and some of the. books and money. The case is now await-in- ? court. The last chapter in the 1 i ttl e dram a was the faction published the notice mentioned elsewhere with a view of re- straining the congregation from making any improvements on the land or claiming it as theirs. B. Jones, a member of the faction, said its members claimed to be the only Siioam church, and the whole matter would have to rest nntil the meeting of the Baptist association in September, which would de- cide the question. Until then they would maintain their position as the original and only Siioam congregation. On tbe other hand, Bev. Duvall was scur- rying around yesterday hunting his lawyer to maintain the standard of the faction, still clinging to their old quarters. RATES TO BE YERI LOW. The Railroads Ready to Join Hands With the Exposition. Passenger agents of railroads centering in Pittsburg met the managers of the Exposi- tion yesterday regarding excursion rates during the Exposition. The agents agreed to take an interest in Pittsburg and the Ex- position, and offered to make tbe lowest rates ever made for Pittsburg. Well advertised excursions will be run often. Just what the rates will oe neither the railroad people nor the Exposition man- agers will say, but Manager Johnston says the rate is so low that it will be cheaper tor conntry folk to come to Pittsburg than to stay at Home. Everything is harmonious between the railroads and the society to make the Exposition a success. A HOME INSTITUTION. Some Points of Interest About tbe Western University.

FOE JOHNSTOWN'S BELIEF.

The Commission's Meeting is Called

for Wednesday Next.

POSSIBIEB EASTERN OBSTACLES,

Treasurer Thompson's Individual Yiews

and Inside Facts.

2IH. MAETIK SOT TET EEADX.TO TALE

There was a rumor current yesterday thatseveral members of the Governor's BeliefCommission were opposed to the rapid dis-

tribution of the relief fund in Johnstown.This opposition was reported to come prin-

cipally from the eastern members. W. E.Thompson, Treasurer of the fund, asked onthis very point, said:

"I cannot positively say whether therewill be any opposition by the commissionin regard to placing the money or not; butfor myself, I shall advocate the quickestpossible distribution of the fund. I am ofopinion an opinion formed by a close ttudyof the situation that the sooner the moneyis placed in the hands of the people, thebetter it will be for all parties concerned."Why should we hold it back? The peopleof Johnstown are not children, and they aretired of the sort of 'parental authority thecommission exercises over them, and theywant to regain control of their own business.

A JFOKIUDABLE FEATUKE.

"Another feature to be taken into consid-eration is the fact that many people, know-ing that they are to receive money, are lay-ing back waiting for it. If they had theamount coming to them, and knew thatthey could not obtain any further supplies,they would soon becomeOf course, immediately after the disaster,when the people were paralyzed with theenormity of their loss, there was a need ofsome one to say to them what to do and howto do it; but that day is past the peoplenow are able and willing to take hold forthemselves.

"Up to last night I have distributed about5150,000, and there is $50,000 more inthe vaults of the first NationalBank to commence on"We shall probably put out inthe city about $1,000,000, and in my opin-ion we can't do it any too soon. I admitthat I had serious doubts of the practibilityof so doing a week or so ago; but, after hav-ing been among the people of Johnstown, Ihave become thoroughly convinced thatthev are to be trusted to act for themselves.They are principally of Welch o'r Germanextraction, and are consequently verythrifty.

ON DEPOSIT AT ONCE.

"I was talking to the acting cashier ofthe First National Bank a day or so agoand he remarked that the deposits had in-creased most materially since the commis-sion had begun the distribution. "Why, wehave cashed $5,000 in checks here at ourhome office in the past week. That does notlook much like squandering their money,docs it? And another thing: the people arenearly all educated; we do not find above5 per cent who cannot write their name.They are the same class of saving peopleone meets at the Dollar Savings Bank hereon Saturday afternoon depositing theirsurplus. The Cambria Iron Company willsoon be able to o0er work to nearly as manymen as previous to the. flood. At their endof the town all is life and earnestness. Thesteam is pouring from the furnaces, and thelittle engine darting here and there with itsload of freight. The ruined portion is beingrapidly rebuilt, and will soon be completelyrestored.

"What we should do is to distribute themoney as rapidly as consistent with thor-oughness, deliver the city into the chargeof its citizens and withdraw, with the firmconviction that we have done all that waspossible under the circumstances."

mb. aiAEvnrS. S. Marvin was interviewed on the same

subject, and said: "I am not prepared tomake any statement in regard to the matterat present. The commission will have ameeting at Johnstown on the 31st inst,when, beyond doubt, the question will bediscussed, and upon the evidence broughtiornard I shall advocate the adoption of theplan which seems to be of the most interestto all parties interested,and I have no doubtthat every member of the commission willdo the same. It would be impossible to finda more capable or upright body of men thanthe present Belief Committee, and they willmake no mistake, you may be sure of itThey have only the welfare of the Johns-town citizens at heart."

Messrs. James B. Scott and BeubenMiller, the remaining members of the localcommission, were out of town. Telegramsfor the opinions of Mayor Fitler, of Phila-delphia, and Governor Beaver met withlike results no response.

The reports of extensive frauds in the ob-taining of checks is denied by TieasurerThompson. Many people have made falsestatements to the local committee; but, whenit comes to swearing to the same in theTreasurer's office, they generally weakenand confess the fraud.

INCLUDING THE OTHER JOHNSTOWN.

BET. BENTLEY TALKS ENIGMATICALLY

The colored people held another meetingin the Franklin street schoolhouse lastnightIsaac "Washington presiding, M. K.Holloand Secretary.

Broadax Smith, who saya he isn't rever-

end, made his presence felt for the firsttime in these meetings.

tThe first question presented wax as to the

amount owed the janitor. Mr. Fosterstated that he claimed three nights' pay de-

linquent. Chairman "Washington said hehad paid two nights' rent for the' hall, andbut one was owing, and Mr. Foster was sentto hunt the janitor. Meantime Bevs.Pryor and Smith reported the interviewof the committee sent to Union-tow- n

to confer with Governor Beaver.Mr. Smith refused to be dubbed "Rever-end," but preferred to put himself in thesame class with an Eastern preacher whose

title is D. D. D. D. D. D., decided declinerof the dubious degree of doctor of divinity.Mr. Smith said he'd rather be called Broad-ax. Mr. Smith thonght that sufficienteffort to get money had not been made. Hesaid there were lots of rich white men inthis city who expressed pity and Mr. Smithwanted them to have them express it in dol-

lars and cents. Broadax said it wouldn'tbe any harm

TO WOKK ON SUNDAY,

and let all the preachers in the city wrestlewith their congregations. He expressed anopinion that proper effort, backed withmoney, would save Flemon.

Mr. Foster again insisted that means beraised to send some famous lawyer to SouthCarolina, for Mr. Foster felt in his osseousstructure that Flemon would go back to thePalmetto State.

Mr. "Wright reported that a gentlemannamed Colonel Scott and others had givenhim some cash for the cause, --and ColonelScott had said he would stand with the col-ored people to see that Flemon should .notbe taken back.

A man addressed the Chair and said ifSouth Carolina were civilized it would beall right to allow Flemon to go back, butnot as the case stands. This man rerused togive his name, as he said he lived in theSouth and was a lawverand did not proposeto give his name. He said the Bepublicanparty had done wrong in allowing those

d, perjured wretches to come backto Congress after fighting tour years to de-stroy the Government. This anonymousgentleman said the only way the negroesconld get their rights was to armand fight for them, "If you saythis man shan't go back he willnot be taken. Applause. The coloredpeople must imitate the whites in theirhieher civilization and not in their vices.I am astonished to find men smoking in thishall In the South we tried topray this tyranny down, tried singing itdown, tried voting it down, but now theyproposed

TO FIOHT IT DOTVN.

"It's as much of a pleasure to die for theright as to be born, we must not smoke orchew tobacco, as we cannot afford it. Letus work, save money and get homes and in-fluence."

Mr. Isaac Morton moved the appointmentof a committee on resolutions.

Voices What's resolutions?Mr. Morton Resolutions is resolutions.Broadax essayed to make a speech, when

'Mr. Morton attempted to interject, butBroadax said: "You can't say what I wantto say. We want to get up resolutions inthe spirit of the Southern brother who hasjnst spoken. If we don't talk out plainlythese white men at Harrisburg will look atyour committee and ask: 'Where's the restof your niggers?' "

Mr. Morton's motion prevailed, andMessrs. Isaac Morton, B. F. Stewart, Joseph"W Taylor, Bev. P. W. Douse, and tbeSouthern unknown wero appointed the com-mittee. This action smoked the unknownout and induced him to tell his name, andwhen all came out he was found to be Prof.H. M. Rankin, of the Western TennesseeUniversity, Memphis.

When the committee retired a lone and'angry discussion ensued as to the advisability ol tbe a inance uommmee making a retport. Mr. Chilton opposed for reasons he pre-ferred to keep to himself. Amid angry con-troversy and innumerable points of orderBroadax Smith squelched all advocates of areport by stating that there were abundantreasons why the committee should work inthe dark and not expose its aims and giveaway facts to the newspapers.

The question of sending & moral influencecommittee caused a long discussion, butfinally Bevs. Pryor, Bentley, Clinton, J. J.Jones, McMillen and Watson, and LaymenJames Smith and Broaaax Smith were appointed.

THE UNLUCKY THIRTEEN.Bev. Bentley was in trouble regarding

the more or less mythical committee of thir-teen. Mr. Bentley wanted to know whatthe organization is, was or had been. Mr.Foster replied that it was a ghost TheChair was in favor of smoking that com-mittee out. He said the only body knownwas that which meets in the Franklinschoolhouse.

Mr. D. M. Washington said that, so faras he could learn, the "committee ofthirteen" was composed of James Haskins,

'of No. 46 Wilson street. He could not findthat this

POWEEcommittee had done anything. BroadaxSmith, like Betsy Prigg, believes there ain'tno Mrs. Harris. ,

Bev. Bentley said a little gray-haire- d manon one of the newspapers told him-- qf thecommittee. l

Broadax Smith said he had been told toecommittee was mostly composed of blackmen, but had some "ornary" white mem-bers. Cries-Honora-

The Resolution Committee reported asfollows:

i BEPOBT OP THE COMMITTEE.Whereas, We, tbe colored people of West-

ern Pennsylvania, having for1 several weekspast had the case of Bev. C'F. Flemon, ofSouth Carolina, under consideration, do pro-claim to the citizens of Pennsylvaniaand the States of tbe Union tbat webelieve tbat tbe charge made againstRev. E. F. Flemon by the State of BoothCarolina for tbe murder of Mr. James Black-wel- l,

of Edgefield county, of said State. Octo-ber 29, 1884, Is false and without foundation,upon which tbey seek by requisition on tbaGovernor of Pennsylvania tbe return "of saidBev. Flemon back to Sooth Carolina to answersaid charge made to him.

Whereas, We further believe that the deathof said James Blaclcwell was tbe result ot apolitical riot In which many were engaged andthat many colored men lost their lives; andfarther, we believe tbat tbe State ot SouthCarolina seeks tbe return of said Flemon fortheipnrpose of Intimidating tbe colored peopleof Edgefield county in the assertion of theirpolitical right": we further petition tbe Gov-ernor of Pennsylvania to use every legal meansto thoroughly Investigate the charge madeagainst Rev. Flemon and the circumstancesleading to th death ot James Blaclcwell beforesurrendering the prisoner to the officials ofBoutn uarouna.

Jfeiolved, That we, the colored citizens cl

Pennsylvania, will use all honorable and lawfulmeans within our power to defend the pris-oner, and would ask all citizensto join us in the issue, that justice may be donetba most bumble citizen, "and especiallythroughout tbe South, where the negro is de-

nied his political and civil rights.Signed by the committee,

B. F. Swtwabt. Secretary.FOE PINANCIAIi SEASONS.

The Chair announced that as Mondaynight was tbe best on which to make collec-tions, it would be the night of meeting here-after. x

As a parting shot, Mr. Foster again de-manded that some lawyer, a rebel Brigadier,be hired to defend Flemon in South Caro-

lina.Sheriff McCandless yesterday received an

order from Governor Beaver asking thatFlemon be held until after Tuesday.Flemon is ordered to appear by counsel atHarrisburg on Tuesday next to make goodthe facts set forth in his petition, and theSheriff of Allegheny county directed to holdhim, Flemon, until a decision is rendered,notice to be given to the Governor of SouthCarolina, who may also be heard in personor by counsel, the hearing to take place at 4o'clock P.

ASKING FOR FAVORS.

Green Bottle Blowers Desirous of the Win-dow Glass Men' If TheyShould Strike The Matter Not Yet Set-

tled.A joint conference was held in Philadel-

phia the other day between committees ofDistrict Assemblies Nos; 119 and 143 of theGreen Bottle Blowers and a committee ofL. A. No. 300, Window Glass Workers.The object of the green bottle blowers wasto induce the window glass men to act inharmony with them during a strike. Thefact of the matter is that the green bottleblowers have lost a Uvr factories out West,and, of course,are anxious to get them back.

The conference was attended by a commit-tee from L. A. 300, composed of JosephBiggins, William Wallace and Emil Gon-tier- e.

After discussion the green glsssworkers presented the following paper:

"Whereas, We consider It inconsistent forone department of trade to assist any corpora-tion to subordinate another department oftrade where both are members of the K. of L;therefore.

Resolved. That the joint committees of D.A.'s 119 and 113 request K A 300 to deter mak-ln- e

contracts for tbe coming season with tbemanufacturers who operate nod-unio-n bottlefactories in connection with union window fac-tories, until such manufacturers agree to oper-ate their bottle factories according to tbe regu-lations of the Knights of Labor.

Then the discussion was continued, andthe committees exchanged their views as towhat factories were meant. At the close ofthe meeting the green bottle blowers passeda resolution that they would assist the win-dow glass workers whenever they had anystrike by paying them benefits, and in re-

turn they expect the same it they shouldhappen to be in any strike.

This conference is, so far, of some import-ance because the ereen bottle blowers werethe first who urged an investigation into thecharges against President Campbell and L.A. 300 for importing foreign glass workers.

What will be done in the matter by thewindow glass men cannot be stated. Thecommittee will refer the question to the Ex-ecutive Council of the Window GlassWorkers' Association.

PLASTERERS WANT

Tbey Object to Having Lathing Done by In-

capable Bovs or Others.,It was stated by one "of the members of

the Plasterers' Beneficial and ProtectiveAssociation, of Pittsburg, yesterday after-noon that on tbe 1st of August all theplasterers of this city will strike, unless thecontractors allow them to do lathing as wellas plastering.

This matter came tinder discussion at theNational Plasters' Convention in St Paul,Minn. Delegates from all over the countrycomplained that lathing is at present notonly done by but a good dealor tbe wore is also done by boys, Who get$2 CO, while the plasterer makes (3 CO. Aresolution was passed that any branch ofthe association desiring to strike to fight thisquestion might do-so-', end that they wouldbe supported. There are about 400 plasterersin the city, and thqy are determined tostrike next week unless they are given lathing as well as plastering.

A number of them sav that on account ofthe work being done by boys plastering ismade not only difficult, but is dorc so badlythat the safety of the bouse is affected.

The new nail gati ;e, made by the Amal-gamated Association some time ago, pre-sents many advuftages to Pittsburg nailmanufacturers. Jit enables them to competewith Wheeling nail men, which they couldnot do formerly, as Amalgamated menworked cheaper in Wheeling than here.

This will probably prompt the Pittsburgnail men to resume work as soon as possible.

WHICH IS THE SILOAM

Two Factions of a Congregation Claim

to be the Original.

AN INTERESTING CHDRCH FIGHT.

Tbe Pastor and Trustees Disagree OverSome Missing Funds.

PROCEEDINGS TO CLAIM BUPREHACT

An advertisement appeared in a Pittsburgpaper yesterday warning all persons againstnegotiating with parties representing theSiioam Baptist Church, East Liberty, orsoliciting money on the church property.An information was found to have beenmade before Alderman Gripp the first weekin May against B. Jones, Joseph Douglass,J. J. Crawford and John. Chase, charged byJohn Lightfoot with having taken the keysof' the Sunday school of the church, ofwhich they had been official members, andsuing for the return of somo books, etc

Further seaich led the Teporter to thehome of Bev. W. Duvall, colored, pastor ofthe church, on Breckenridge avenue. Mrs.Duvall called Sister Phillips, a member ofthe church, into the house, and the follow-ing allegations went forth, as if on thebreeze:

THE MONET ADBIFZ.The Siioam Colored Baptist Church, nntil

about a year ago, had been prosperous andrepresented a congregation of 140 zealousChristian workers, who took every meansin their power to advance the cause of re-

ligion and build up the church. They wor-

shiped in the rear of Libetty Hall, EastEnd. About the time stated they decidedthat, with combined efforts, they would tryto build a church of their own. Option" wasobtained on a little plat on Hiland avenue,and each Sunday a collection was takenand the amount donated toward the churchand the amount yet needed to pay for tbeland, announced. Bev. Mr. Duvall was onthe Board of Trustees and had assisted inthe financial matters.

Soon a cloud hovered over the little con-

gregation. A day of reckoning came, andofficers of the chnrch tried to balance ac-

counts of the amount paid in and that onhand.

BOT1I DEFICIT AND MUDDLE.There was a deficit. There was an awful

mix. A member of the church, accordingto the ladies interviewed, accused the pastor,at church board meetings, of being responsi-ble for the missing money, about 100.

The preacher brought counter charges,and the congregation split Twenty-fiv- e

left the church and rented Armory Hall,East End, and "set out for themselves."The reporter was told, by tbe ladies inter-viewed and several others, that the partymaking the accusations against Mr. Duvallwas arrested on information of Mr. Duvallbefore Alderman Gripp, and was now out onbail, but the Alderman's clerk could notfind the information last night, and did notknow whether such a case had gone to courtor not.

After the faction had left the church theremaining members excommunicated thedissenters and claimed to be the originalSiioam Church, while the faction claimthey are the original chnrch and the othersthe faction. The faction tried to get pos-session of some of the property, and, accord-ing to allegations of Mr. Lightfoot in theinformation cited,

CABBIED OJT THE SETSto the Sunday school room and some of the.books and money. The case is now await-in- ?

court.The lastchapter in the 1 i ttl e dram a was

the faction published the noticementioned elsewhere with a view of re-straining the congregation from making anyimprovements on the land or claiming it astheirs. B. Jones, a member of the faction,said its members claimed to be the onlySiioam church, and the whole matter wouldhave to rest nntil the meeting of the Baptistassociation in September, which would de-cide the question. Until then they wouldmaintain their position as the original andonly Siioam congregation.

On tbe other hand, Bev. Duvall was scur-rying around yesterday hunting his lawyerto maintain the standard of the faction, stillclinging to their old quarters.

RATES TO BE YERI LOW.

The Railroads Ready to Join Hands Withthe Exposition.

Passenger agents of railroads centering inPittsburg met the managers of the Exposi-tion yesterday regarding excursion ratesduring the Exposition. The agents agreedto take an interest in Pittsburg and the Ex-position, and offered to make tbe lowestrates ever made for Pittsburg.

Well advertised excursions will be runoften. Just what the rates will oe neitherthe railroad people nor the Exposition man-agers will say, but Manager Johnston saysthe rate is so low that it will be cheaper torconntry folk to come to Pittsburg than tostay at Home. Everything is harmoniousbetween the railroads and the society tomake the Exposition a success.
