Edward Bean, Robert Bolden, and Theo-
dore Pendleton, trustees Of the Seventh
Baptist Church, have fled bill in equity
against Rev. j. II. Winston, Thomas Wood,

praying for an injunction. They claim
that on Oct. 1, 1886, as trustees, they were
the owners OF lots Al and A, square ITO,
improved by building valued at $4,000.
IL is charged that the minister, having
gained the confidence OF the membership OF
the church, succeeded In getting himself
appointed trustee, and as such borrowed
large sums OF money on tho property, and
aver that he converted the same to his own
use, refusing TO account for 1t.
II is etated that there came into his hands
1850, and TO cover up the fraud he al
tered the minutes, and falling to account
for what he had received, he was deposed
as minister. 1t is claimed that In August
the ground was sold to j. 4. Dortt, who
presented the building to the church, but
the minister took possession Of II, and sell
ing IL, converted the money TO his own use.
The complalnants further state that when
the clergyman came to the church he did
not possess dollar, but was paid by the
church monthly. He now owns property
valued at 81 600 on Lawrence street, which,
IL is charged, was derived from the church
property. It's further charged that 50, 00C
was raised by collections in the church
and this sum he is accused OF appropriating
TO his own use.

TIE CONIICT QUESTION.

senator Staples Wim Report that the Pen'-
tertiary Contracts Can he inuuii'd.
Senator Staples, member Of the SEN
ate Committee on Public Institutions,
has been making careful inquiry into
the nature and legal status OF the con-
tracts made By the Board Of Directors
of the Penitentiary with Messrs. Sam
uel G.. Fairbanks, Larus ~ Brother, and
Joseph Davis, and he has reached the
conclusion that It is entirely within the
power of the Legislature to annul either
or all Of these contracts. lie has pre-
pared a carefully-written report. which
he will submit to the committee
at its next meeting. The position
is taken that the Legislature, when it
passed an act authorizing the hiring
out OF conyicts, never intended that
the State should lose its control over
them. or if they intended so to do they
had no such power, and that therefore
this Legislature has the right to make
any regulations concerning their hire 1t
NAV deem necessary. and to annul any
existing contract if 1t shall deem It de-
sirable to do 50. lie recommends that
the contract made last July with Jo-
seph Davis, OF Lynn, Mass, be can
celled.
An effort will soon be made to
abolish convict labor in the Capitol and
on the Capitol Square. Some Of the
State officers complain that the conyicts
do not do their work well, and that
their presence is Objectionable.
The City Council will be asked to
abolish the chain-gang as a street.
cleaning force, and to organize in their
stead regular force Of honest white or
cOloreG men.
