More nolored Men for Iowa.

The Iowa coal mine fever has been pref
ty high this week, being created by the ar
rival of Maj Thos. A. Shumate, from
Iowa, for another gang Of colored laborers.
He easily got together a company of sixty
but on Tuesday night received a telegram
from the Manager saying they wanted him
to bring only forty laborers and ten fam
lies. so he had to leave some. He got
all his men from Stanton or its vicinity
and among them some OF our most re-
spectacle young colored men. 1t was no.
ticeabe that the colored street loafers did
not take any interest in the offer, SO that
our town loses rather than gains by the
exodus. Maj. S. left Yesterday morning
with his company for Iowa. Those color
ed men who went with the first party some
weeks ago are doing well and are pleased
with their place. They get $25 month,
or so cents ton for getting out the coal.
Taylor Jefferson, we'll known colored
citizen of Staunton, is keeping miners
boarding house. is doing well, has ninety
boarders and as Major S. laughlngiy re-
ported looks entirely too big for his
breeches.' There is town of ten thou
sand inhabitants a few miles from the
mines. Maj. Shumate who has position
under the company spends part OF his
time in the mines directing the colored
gangs. The company have arranged tor
building houses for the colored families.
and for those men who have families but
do not bring item, the company have ar
ranged with the Augusta National Bank
here so that they may send so much Of
their wages as they desire home. Some OF
the colored men here advised with their
white friends about the prCpriety of going.
The writer was asked about it by one Of
them and replied aith the solemn dignity
one always assumes when talking about
something he knows nothing about:
''Well George it is always best for
young man to leave home sometime or
other and zee something of the world and
-
II know boss, but l done worked i'll
fourteen of the States and been across de
ocean as a sailor-I was talking bout
making money"
The solemn adviser put up his shutters
at once. These colored people since .be-
TO- the wah' have seen good deal more
than we think they have.

A Liuely Picture IN Nature.-The scene
was laid at 81 o'clock Saturday night; the
back ground, an inky black cloud looming
up IN the west; vivid flashes of lightning
and muttering thunder denoted a rapidly
approaching tempest. The full moon in
the east with rays unobstructed by the
slightest vapOr, shed her beams of unusual
brilliancy upon the murky canvass

luminous resting SO calmly on the bosom

den of hail and rain and sped eastward.

exact point of junction is as we'll known
to the engineers as to any body else, and
perhaps better that they; will join at the

to use this mile of the G. & o. road is
probable. 1t is not likely that this would
be more than temporary, as the road loca-

THE MEETING OF THE EVANGELICAL
LUTHERAN SYNOD OF VIRGINIA.-In
reference to notice published last week,
of the meeting here April 21st, to adjudi
cate the troubles in the congregation of
the Central Lutheran church, we cheer
fully publish the following official action
of the Council of that church, taken on
Saturday night last:
In last issue Of VINDICAToR, we were surprised to
find an article in reference to our congregations
affairs We respectfully ask that you give this card
place in your paper for the purpose OF informing
correct but in what particulars it is not necessary
here to mention.
We also ask that or city papers ma. please re-
frain from giving publicity to our church matters
unless officially requested to make mention thereof
By order of Council Central Evangelical Lutheran

1t is proper to accompany the publica-
ton, however, with the fact that no no.
tice whatever has been taken by any of the
city press of the congregational affairs of
this church until an official call of a larg
church body made the matter public news
and the following order convening the
whole Synod of Virginia to sit upon the
case, had been officially promulgated:

Of course after such.public notice for the
assembling here of the highest church au
thority in the State, a secular paper have
ing the call in its possession would try ano
give it's readers an intelligent idea of what
such assembling was for. We applied tc
a member of the church, the best authori
ty at our command, for statement Of il
and have only to regret that the statement
was not such one as would have been
pronounced correct by all parties in inter
est. We say this much because the action
of the Council expresses surprise at the
publication and we do not desire to appear
in the position of having given the promi
nent authority in church any cause fol
unpleasant surprise by publications with
reference thereto.

Easter at the Trinity Chapel.

The annual Easter celebration of the
Sunday School children Of Trinity Church
took place on Easter evening in their
Chapel, and TIE exercises were Of an ex-
ceedipgly interesting and enjoyable char
acter, and were participated in both by
children. parents and teachers. and many
visitors from other congregations. The
singing OF the children. of the Easter Car
OILS was very sweet, and the one sung by
the infant class, (The Lambs of the Fold)
was exceedingly sweet. The Rec
tor, W. @. Iulllhen received the con-
tributOns Of the different classts. each
one of which was accompanied by floral
Offering symbolical of the name Of the
class, and the arrangement OF some d
these was very beautiful. Upon the plat
form of the Chapel was placed large ev-
ergreen cross above which was suspended
a beautiful white dove, with wings out
sire ched, and upon this cross were ar
ranged, by Mrs. H. NJ. Bell and Edmund
Berkeley with much artistic effect the
floral offerings of each class as they were
brought up to, and received by the Rector
with its accompanying contribution. These
contributions were mostly made by the
children themselves, many of them having
been busiy at work during the leisure
hours of the past lenten season in order to
make the money now contributed; and
that of the Infant class (under the care of
Mrs. FL. w. Shetfey, assisted by Miss Ma

Interesting to Knights Of Honor .

We have received copy OF the "Sentl
.nel," monthly paper devoted to the in
7seresus of the order of Knights OF Honor
:,aad published at Richmond, Va. 1t con-
stalns some interesting facts which were
telicited at the recent meeting OF the Grand
Hodge IN Norfolk. From the date 6 the
organization OF the order in 1874, there
have been 1923 deaths, but only 63 assess
ments of one dollar each upon the men,
bers. by which the large sum of 81, 2S3, O93,-
65 has been paid to the families and
friends of deceased members. The largest
number of assessments made in any one
year was 10, the result Of the yellow fever
mortality of 1878.
Last summer, the Supreme Dictator,
W. rned by the sad and costly experience
of he previous summer, addressed cir
o,,,., to each of the fifteen hundred and
o;obtv eight lodges in the United States
asking FOR contribution Of fifty cents per
member. to he used in removing their
brathren f, ON the infected localities and as
a;st;np them until the danger had passed
A majority OF the lodges responded to this
humane appeal. and Supreme Dictator,
Cummings, recei we'd $2l .74a. Every lodge
of the thirty-eight in Virginia, with two
exceptions, contribul ed, and In the report
of the Supreme Trea surer, Virginia Is
classed as second among l. he Grand Lodges
in the rate of pei centage, BE- ing 81.
The disposition of this humane fund Oh
over twenty. one thousand dollars is gooo
Illustration of the wisdom, economy ana
honesty in the management of this great
order.
The sum of SO, 567 10 was expended hi
removing and assisting the refugees. OF
which SO, 900 was appropriated to Memphis
alone. By this means it is estimated that
the lives OF ND less than fifty members
were 81 we'd. Says the Supreme Dictator
in his circular just received by Staunton
Lodge in referring to the action OF the
lodge. by your aid, the terrible ravages
of tbe pestilence were stayed, the lives OF
our members saved and the Order protec-
ted from great pecuniary loss"
There were however $12, 176 Al OF this
contribution uu0ApCuuou, oAAA AA1HSo'"~
its being appropriated as might have easl-
ly been done by less honest officials, the
whole sum has been fairly proportloned

Stanton Lodge having just received 90
ner cent. Of the amount forwarded by IL
last July.
During the last year there were twelve
new lodges organized in Virginia with a
met asjn Of 742 members. Since the ad-
i;ournment of the Grand Lodge, two al
