Or equal to an advance of 101 to 128
points. The shorts, who had not covered
during the rise of last week, were semi
paralyzed at such a sudden addition to
the advance, and several went to the wall.
One or two large firms who had resisted
the current ever since it set in, stood the
blast well, but there were fears tnat 9TH
ers might succumb, and the break which
followed the first call was said to have
been with view of allowing these par
ties to cover and save themselves. The
first upward wave was from the South
in response to the late ''cold wave," the
South buying freely in this market to
cover their short accounts at home, and
to 20 long, at the same time, here. This
buying set the weak shorts in this market
to covering, and the outsiders came and
bounced the market l25 points higher.
The elimination, for the present at least,
was this forenoon, when an excitement
on the part Of the remaining shorts was
seen as is seldom witnessed, and then
came the fall, prices settling until the
second call went out at q decline since
the opening of an average of 60 points on
the late months. Cotton left off at the
lowest of the day, but still 12al6 points
higher than Wednesdays closing, though
nearly eightg points lower than it opened

a number of young ladies and gentlemen
last Friday, under the skillful manage
ment of that accomplished gentleman, Mr..
G. r. Hopkins. They left the city about
10 o'clock for Broad Ripple, which they
reached shortly after IL, and then the fun
began in earnest Fishing, hunting and
boating were the enjoyments of the day.

from Smidth's few times more than was
in accordance with the laws of gravity;
one OF the ladies. however, gave him some
sour pickles, which brought him out all
right John Thornton told one of his best
while going out, namely, that he was taken
for grizzly bear while out in California,
and was shot at by Chinaman. A few
of the party staid at Mr.. Jackson's after
they returned, and took few whirls just
to give it the finishing as they termed it.

A FIGHT AT EDWIN RAY

It Results in Black Eye and Sew

q dl AIT6StS.
1t is not Trouble in de Church" this
time, as some of our papers will have it
when little unplessantness occurs in one
oil our colored churches, but real black
eye in Edwin Ray Church.
During the Quarterly Conference pro-
ceedings at this church Tuesday evening,
some unpleasant W, rds passed between Mr..
VIM. Patterson and Rev. Mr.. Young, the
pastor. Otter persons became involved in
the quarrel and during the progress of
events, Mr. Patterson received heavy
blow in the eye from George Evans Mr..
Patterson affirms that Rev Mr.. Young also
struck at him several times with a chair
Mr.. Patterson Immediately swore out a
warrant for the arrest of Charles and
George Evans. his assailants. In the mean
time George Evans had taken the precau
ton 10 60 TO Squire Seibert's and enter a
plea of guilty to assault and battery, and
after hearing evidence, he was fined SIS and
costs. Charles Evans was taken in by the
police next morning, and Mayor Ca, en-
postponed his trial for one week, in order
to give all parties concerned little time
to cool off 1t is not likely that the matter
will end before MAYO Caven, but that it
will be carried into the courts. There seems
to be considerable pugilistic talent in
this church, and il the public would allow
the brothers to fight it out once, it might
bring this trouble to an end. - ~ 80

able men will be presented at the Conven
ton, bat if Mr.. Stout should receive the
nomination, it will be worthily bestowed.
This twaddle about the colored people
always lighting among themselves is the
apology made by great many politicians
for the non-recognitioI of the colored men
in position of honors. Colored men are not
unlike white men. They aspire to posi-
tons of honor and trust, and every aspir-
ant has his friends and advocates. Very
often We find fifteen or twenty white men
candidates for a position where only one
is TO be chosen, and occasionally three or
four colored men happen to fall into a
channel which leads to a stream where
only one can enter. The politician does
not object to this among white men-he
never thinks of calling it fight But when
three or four colored men are candidates
for the same position, and each man has
his friends working for him: the cry is
raised that the colored people are fighting
among themselves. In fact, it is a fight
political fight-and of the same charac
ter which is always waged by the white
candidates.
When a colored man fails to receive {
nomination, it would favorless ofnonsenst
to say that he failed for the want of NOR,
votes, rather than to resort to this race
fight absudity as all apology. N
