iact became known, and he was disciplined by
The Meeting, for the proceeding, whereupon lie
brought suit against several of the Ministers,
elders, and other prominent Friends, for con-

The suit ended in a verdict for the defendants,
and the plaintiff loses his position a preacher,

What a miserable reprobate the preachers all
make Fisk out to bel And they are right. Why,
the scoundrel actually stopped his coupe one
cold, dreary night on Seventh avenue and got
out, inquired where she lived, and gave poor
old beggar woman dollar. He seemed to have
no shame about him, fer the next day the de-
bauched wretch sent her around barrel Of flour
aud load Of coal.
One day the black-hearted scoundrel sent S10
and bag OF flour around TO a widow woman
with three starving children, and, not content
with this, the remorseless wretch told the Police
Captain to look after all the poor widows and
orphans in his Ward and send them to him when
they deserved charity.
What shameless performance il was to give
that poor negro preacher $40 and send him on to
Howard University And how the black-hearted
villain practiced his meanness on the poor pen.
