Booker, who is a gentleman of no ordinary
intelligence. His wife was formerly Miss
Sue Polly, of Ironton. 1 was agreeabIy sur
prised to find that she is subscriber to the
REGISTER, and is an interested reader of
the ssColored Notes. Mr.. Booker is an
honored member of the ''Paving Cutters
Union," and meets with lodge No. 4 of Pied
mont. He says that with the proper creden-
tials from his lodge he can work at any
quarry he may desire in the State. Mr.. Book
er told me of friend of his, Rev. D. Williams,
of Poplar Bluff, who is member of lodge
No. Is. and was formerly elected one of the
vice-presidents. Besides showing the gen.
tleman's abilities and the esteem in which
he is held, it also shows that these men have
common interest and are fighting for a
common cause that caste and prejudice on
account OF color vanishes. Rev. Williams
was ordained on the oath of March, and is
held in high esteem by his church. also
met Richard Denwoody who has been at
Piedmont all winter and is making good
living. The climax was finally reached at
O'Clock P. NJ. when the pastor arose and
announced his subject to be "The church of
Christ" Taxing this text for the afternoon
discourse, 'Tbou art the Christ, the son of
the living God" "Thou art Peter and upon
this rock 1 will build my church''-Matt.
xvi, is and Is verses. At the conclusion of
the sermon Sabbath school was organized
with the following officers, Miss Annie Pol
lie, superintendent; Henry Bostie, assistant
superintendent; Miss Surrena Bostie, treas
urer; Miss Clark as secretary; Mr.. r.
Booker, leader of the singing. A prayer
meeting was also organized with Mrs. Clark
as leader. BY special request services
were appointed for the first Sunday in May.
So the good work has assumed definite
shape and will hereafter be looked after by
the Ironton church.
Mr.. Creath, of Piedmont, is putting I'D a
new building in Piedmont, which will soon
be occupied by Mr.. Wesly Arms as soda
factory. Mr.. Arms deserves great credit for
his pluck and energy.
G. A. Maston and Miss Minnie Brenum
recently received their commissions as cap
taips of the ''Grand Armv Of Christian Edu-
cation" The commissions were issued by
DR.. Kynett, secretary of the Freedman's
Bureau.
The parsonage has been fixed up in good
shape and Rev. McAlister is using it as an
office and study. From all appearance the
Rev. has taken a hold upon the hearts of the
people and his success is assured. The Rev.
is widOwer, you know? He has secured
board for the present at the house of George
Carter.

Of the most remarkable ever heard in the

city and police officials using their influence
in behalf OF the prisoners was seen
Some time ago the police raided the place
and found game in full blast. On the fol-
lowing day the defendants swore that they
were sinply playing freeze out for the
drinks. Judge Caldwell was compelled to
dismiss them.
On sunday last Officer Jones and young
man named Bigler visitei Schlichte's place
and found 8 game in progress Bigler pur-
chased checks and took hand in the game,
while the officer went after the patrol wa
gon. In view Of this fact Livingston, Aaron,
Haker. Rinski and Winters entered a plea
of guilty. They were assessed fine OF five
dollars ard costs each. Schlichts entered
plea Of not guilty, and swors that he'was
not in the room and did not know there
was game in progress.
The officer and Bigler swore that he was
in the same room on two or three different
occasions Then il was that the city off,
cials before mentioned got in their work
They hovered around Judge Wilson and
laughed when the witness for the State tes-
tilted, and shook their heads wisely when
Schlichte's witnesses were testifying. Liv-
ingston and the other players swore that
they did not see Schlichte in the room.

His First Mifa His Hriress.

NEW YORK. Nebruary 27.-Philip Merino,
q Cuban, came TO Paterson. \. J., a number
of years ago. and in December. lSS1, ne
married Mary Maloney. mill girl. He
deserted her two years afterward, and she
heard nothing from him until about q
month ago. when she learned that he had
died in Buffalo. n. V, where he hsd been
running hotel under the name Of Frank
Merino. He had quarrel with a bar
tender and received a wound with knife,
which caused his death. Further investi-
CATION showed that Merino had gone 10 ST
Louis from Paterson and had married there,
but shortly afterward deserted his wife. In
Buffalo he married again and accumulated
about $1,000.
Wife No. applied for letters of admins
tration, and these have been granted de-
spitet the opposition of the wives from St
Louis and Buffalo. and there is every likeli-
hood that the Paterson wife will get the
estate, although the other wives and some
of the relatives of the deceased are still
struggling for it. Mrs. Merino is at present
in almost destitute circumstances. She is
employed in a silk mill and her mother Is
in the city poorhouse.

Dominick McCafrrey Sail. for Europe

New YORK, February y. - Dominick
McCaffrey, the man who was knocked out
in ten rounds by Jack Dempsey, the non
pariel, in Jersey City some three weeks ago
has sailed for Europe. He took passage
under all assumed name on steamssip GO
ing 10 Newcastle. He was accompanied BY
a single friend. Even sporting men are
generally ignorant OF his departure, for
since his une IpeCted defeat by Dempsey
he has avoided his old friends He has
secluded himself in the Metropolitan Hotel
in this city and went out only at night
When he had occasion to go TO Philadel-
phia, he took the midnight train. He has
been a very sore and bitter pugilist since
his defeat. To his intimate friends he has
said he would regain his old prestige as
heavyweight or die in the attempt He
sailed last Saturday without leaye-t taking
When he paid his hotel bill last week,
he intimated that he was going away
for some time. He visited Pittsburg some
two weeks ago. and in saying goodbye on
his return TO New York, exclaimed: When
you hear of me next boys, you won't be
ashamed of me-"
McCaffrey's motive in going to England
is to challenge Jem Smith, and the winner
of the Sullivan-Mitchell match. As Sulli-
is concededly the winner, and as it now
seems evident that Smith can not be forced
to meet him McCatfrey's proposition
amounts TO challenging the worlds
champion. As Sullivan has once defeated
McCatfrey, and does not hold him in his
class it is difficult to see how McCaffrey
can persuade him 10 fight. But he Il
thoroughly in earnest, and will leave no
stone unturned to. bring about match OF
some sort; and he is mad enough to make
q dangerous antagonist.

we're followed to the Mayors office by an

court room the crowd follow eI them again
to the train. On the way LeJle was struck
. terrific blow on the back of the head, and
