SOCIAL EQUALITY.

4 LOuI.Innn Association Dl-pIen~ed Action of
the Norm American turmcrs' linton.
The various Turner Assoc ations of New York,
as well as of other parts of the country, are
greatly excited over the action of an association
in New Orleans with reference to the admission
OF a colored man to one of their public enter
tainments.
1t appears that the Turner Association of New
Orleans held a masquerade ball few weeks
ago, to which Hon. Oscar j. Dunn, Lieutenant
Governor OF the State of Louisiana, a colored
man, was invited by the cop.lnittee. MIR. Dunn,
availiDg himself of the invitation, was intro
duced by the Reception Committee to their
room, and afterwards to the ball room. This
sorely displeased large number OF the mem
bers, and the result was an Indignation meet
ing, held soon afterward when the following
resolutions were adopted
Resolved That the Turner Association Of New
Orleans, as a body, consiuers the Introduction OF
oscar j. Dunn Lieutenant Governor OF the State OF
Louisiana, by individual members, on the occasion
OF the masquerade ball held at Turner Hall, in this
city, crime against itself, likewise as violation
of decency towards the guests and friends present
and "a quasi act OF usurpation on the part OF ind
viduas, in order to represent the Turner AssDcia
tiUu OF New Orleans for selfish and personal rea-
sOns) AS BODY recognizing and advocating the 80
cial equality OF races.
RcsotDeo, That aside from the public insult and
the wrong thus enacted, those concerned, in order
to their own interests have, by the ABOVE act
committed "a crime against the Turner Association,
by endanGering It's welfare and existence, throwing
dscord and Vscontent into our ranks, aud averting
from the Turner Association the esteem and support
of the public, which it has gained by continued and
noble AIMS
ResOtced, That all those members who participated
in the introduction OF oscar j. Dunn to our late ball
be brought to account at the next meeting OF the
officers, and be there treated according to the con
stitution of the society.
These resolutions are in direct opposition to
the platform of the North American Turner'S
Union, the first plank of which reads as follows
The North American Turner Union purposes, by
uniting all societies standing on the following plat
form, 10 assist them in their endeavors for sduca
ting their members as men of powerful bodies and
free minds, and it Is its especial aim TO bring, by all
means at its command the endeavor for radical re-
form IN social POLITICAL and religious matters to the
correct understanding OF its members ana to work
for the realization Of these reforms and for the
equal rights OF all men.
The Executive Committee of the Union has
therefore taken tie matter in hand, and de-
manded an explanation from part of the New
Orleans Turnverein, concerning its resolutions.
Should the explanation be unsatisfactory, the
result will be the expulsion of the offending
association

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.


Sinking of n Flat BOnt-A Man and his Wife
The Courier-Jo0mal louisville, Ky.), of
Monday last, says:
A most distressing accident, resulting in the
drowning of u man named Gilbert Stewart and
his wife, occurred in the Youghiogheny river,
opposite Coultcrsyille, on Saturday night.
Stewart and his wife had been at Coultersville,
stopping with Mr. William Beveridge, a rela-
tive, which is some seven miles above McKees-
port, and in company with two men, named
Byron Malone and Harry Jacobs, started for
their home on the opposite side of the river
They took passage in q rudely-constructed scow
of scarcely sufficient capacity for three persons
After they had proceeded some distance the
boat commenced leaking, but the occupants de-
cided to continue Oh their course towards the
opposite shore. The parties who were not row.
ing endeavored to keep the boat afloat by con-
stant bailing, but despite their most energetic
efforts the water gained on them rapidly. The
night was quite dark and the occupants of the
boat becoming bewildered lost their way, and
finally the leaky craft, after being kept afloat
for about an hour, sank. Two of the men mar
rowlv escaped drowning, but succeeded in reach
ing the shore. While Mr.. Stewart was endea-
voring to rescue his wife both we're drowned.
Search was made for the bodies and the river
was dragged in the vicinity of the sad occur
renee. but they have not yet been discovered.
Mr. Stewart was coal miner by occupation,
and had been in this country but short time.
Three small children are made orphans by this
sad occurrence.

in the price being from Ill 81 to 1l2 both exceptional

Of the defeat OF the Funding bill in
the House, where, according to the Washington des-
patches to-day warm debate was In progress be-

dif1culty was had In procuring five per cent among

fully met at the higher OF the rates ABOVE quoted.
"The Government list was strong and active. The

Boston friends. He then sat dowii, whereupou
several members of the congrega' ion
arU.e and appealed to him, IN eloquent
terms, to remain in Chicago. Half the con-

scene is seldom witnessed. Mr.. Collier could
not resist this "homc" thrust. Springing to his
feet, he exclaimed that under no consideration
would he leave Chicago; his mind was made up,
fully and irrevocably. He would live aud die
with them. And then there was "joy uucon-

scarcely contain themselves; where sadness had

now sunshine and happiness. Tears of disap-

SHOCKING.



About o'clock on Tuesday morning young
man named William Briner, about twenty-four
years of age, employed at the bone-mill of Miller
u Smith, beyond the Reading Rolling-mill, met
with horrd death by being ground up in the
phosphate mixing-tub. The tub is of wood,
about five feet in diameter and two and half
feet high, and an upright shaft, supplied with
number of iron arms, revolves in the centre,
making some twenty five revolutions a minute.
The machine is situated in the second story of
the mill. Briner and carpenter were engaged
in cleaning it out at the time of the accideat,
and the deceased had got inside of the tub for
this purpose, when by some mischance the belt
ing was shifted from the loose pulley on which
it was running, starting the shaft and instantly
killing Briner, whose body was terribly man
gled, nearly all his bones being broken. So
tightly was the body wedged in the machine
that it required a considerable length of time to
extrcate it. The man who was with Briner at
the time did not seem to be able to give any
cause for the accident, but it was probably the
result of cqrelessness. He also narrowly escaped
being caught in the machinery.

THE HOME OF THE BABIES.
ReDOrt OF the Sister DirectOrs-436 Babie,
Already Received.

The parlors of the Founding Hospital, New
York, were more crowded than ever yesterday
by beauty and fashion on charitable deeds in
tent. Over hundred ladies were present, and
the great piles of baby linen brought in and dis
tributed gave evidence of their earnestness in
supporting the institution and of their industry.
Quite an amount of money that had been do
mated was also to be seen the table in front of
the lady President.
THE REPORT OF THE SISTER DIRECTORS
showed that 436 babies have up to the present
time been taken into the asylum. Thirty-fiye
were found in the basket in the vestibule during
the past week. Last Saturday ten were brought
in Some of the new arrivals are evidently but
a few days or even hours old. Others who
have learned to know their mothers before
being transferred to the care of the Sisters, miss
them sadly at first and cry plteously all day
long.
DEAD BABY
was yesterday to be seen for the first time on a
visiting day. The little waxen corpse, with Its
hands folded over its breast and holding bou-
| euet of snowdrops, lay in the little dispensary
| on the second floor. 1t was neatly but plainly
| dressed in long baby sack of Nainsook muslin.
| 1t was touching sight. Both OF the colored
babies are dead, much to the regret OF the Sis
| ters and the society. The Founding Aid Soci-
| ETY. is composed of ladies from all sections and
| of all nationalities. Protestant, Catholic Jew
| or GENTLE, whoever possesses heart touched by
| the sufferings of those little waits of humanity
the foundlings, and are willing to contribute
their means, time, and influence to their relief
are gladly welcomed.

Wed nesday, March 81, 1870,


The market continues amply supplied with
funds, both at the banks and in private hands,
and il is not without difficulty that remunerative
employment can be found for large daily bal
ances. Five per cent. is the usual interest OBJ
tanned on demand loans, though large sums are
occasionally offered at AZ per cent, with choice
collaterals. The business demand shows little
improvement from day to day, and there is an
entire absence of speculation, both among
buyers and sellers. There will be no relief from
this apathy until Congress ceases to disturb the
equilibrium of trade by the agitation of ques-
tions now pending. We quote frst-class mer-
camille paper at per cent for three or four
months credits.
The gold market is unsettled by idle rumors
from Washington relative TO the Funding bill,
and the premium advanced from 1115s, at the
opening, to about 1121S about noon.
Governments followed suit, and prices at noon
show a general advance of ss@19, as compared
with last night.
The stock market was only moderately active
and prices are steady. City 6s sold at 1904 for
the old bonds and ut 1927 for the new. Lehigh
gold loan responded to the advance in gold and
sold this morning at SSA.

In the case of Mrs. Ada w. Brnkley, who was
prosecuted upon the charge of assault and bat
terry upon little girl whom she had adopted,
the defendant by numerous respectable wit

and quiet, raising the presumption that she was
not the kind of person to commit the offense of
which she was accused, and the jury rendered
verdict of not guilty.
A coored man was tried for stealing a chicken,
but after he had been put to great expense,
loss of time, and annoyance, the prosecution
failed to make out the shadow of q case, and he
was acquitted.
