The ColOred Picnic.

Six lodges Of the eolored Odd Eel
lows and two brass bands paraded the
streets yesterday afternoon On route
to Es.ival park, where there was a
picnic last night attended by an i'm
mense crowd Of colOred people. Prof.
Sampson is said to have delivered an
eloquent address. The order that
prevailed, we regret to learn, was
not the best. Several hundred
persons climbed over the fence
without paying, and when the crowd
began to leave, at q late hour, q
quarter Of a dollar was demanded of
each one at the gate. This caused
trouble, confusion and bad feeling, as
it was impossible to tell who had paid
at the gate and who had climbed over
the fence. The Odd Fellows doubt
less did the best they could, but the
crowd was noisy and unruly. The
people could be heard going home
nearly all night, and the
residents of Vance and other
streets were considerably disturbed.
There was more noise, disorder ard
obstreperousness than the occasion
called for. 0therwiseit was no doubt
a very creditable affair.

Perjury Case.

The case of B. F. Ball, charged
with perjury, came up in the criminal
court to-day near noon. Ball is
charged with, and has been indicted
by the grand jury, for having falsely
testified in a recent libel suit, tried
before Judue Pierce and q jury in
the circuit court, wherein Mr.. 4.
Whitmore was defendant and Ball
plaintiff, that during the time, he, Ball,
was landlord of the European hotel
no lewd women had ever entered the
house for immoral purposes with his
knowledge and consent. Other wit
nesses testified differently, and Mr..
Ball made the statement he did in re-
buttal. 1t was claimed that the point
was material in the issue before the
court. Mr.. Ball appeared in court
to-day as the defendant, represented
by a brilliant array of counsel
lors-at-law, including Messrs.
Thorpe, Jno. League, B. B. Barnes
and VIM. Randolph. The latter acted
as chief spokesman in Balls interest
and made an effort to cause the in
dictment to be quashed on the ground
that the names of persons by whom,
the times the alleged improper
acts were committed, had been omit
ted from the Indictment. Judge Hor-
rigan said il any legal authorities were
at hand bearing upon the case he
would consider them. After consid-
discussion, without results, the
was postponed for further hear
to Monday o next week.
