fed that he purchased liquor there on that
day, while Houston and his bartender swOre
as positively that they did not sell any, and
that they refused all applicants. A police
man swore that while he saw no positive
evidence of the fact that liquor was sold
there that day, yet he believed such to have
been the case. The Justice, after all the
evidence was in, fined Houston 800, but on
remonstrance of Houston'S counsel, John E.

paid. Mr.. Hartridge then gave notice that
he would carry the case before Judge

pal court, and also regarding Justice Lees

His Owners Pocket.

LOUISVILLE, KY. May 14.-Winter over
coats for men and seaIskin and heavy water
proof lady's wear ruled at the race track
to-day. Heavy black clouds overhung the
track, and chilling wind prevailed. The
crowd was apparently not lessened by the
discomfort of the weather, such is the in
terest attached to Derby day. In the great
race of the day, the Derby, after one false
start, the horses got off we'll together. The
Cheyaller having a little the best of it,
Coming into the stretch out Of the chute
Ieb Ward led by two lengths, with Alex
andrla second, Chevalier third, Macbeth
fourth, Gallifet fifth and Autocrat sixth.
Passing the stand Alexandria was in the
lead, Gallifet second, Chevaier third and
the rest punched. Up the back stretch
Zeb Ward dropped way back,
Gallifet setting the pace, followed
by gap Of two lengths, and then Macbeth,
The Chevalier, Ward, Autocrat and Alex
andr1a in the order named. Rounding into
the stretch, Macbeth moved forward like a
mighty one taking the lead, Covington
handling him beautifully. Mccarthy on
Galhtet was second, and whipping hard,
Ward third, and the rest strung out. Time
1851. Macbeth easily retained first place
to the wire, passing under it first by full
length, without touch of the
whip, and looking ready to
go another quarter. Gallifet was
second and working hard and badly pumped
out, length and a quarter i'll front of
Ward, the others fully three lengths behind.
Withers rode Ward Macbeth is a magnfi-
cent looking brown gelding, and won this
great race in style that places him up
with the very best in the land. 1t was
stated after the race that Mr.. Hawkins, his
owner, had won $4,000. 1t was a great
victory for the Chicago stable. AS an after
consideration, it is rather astonishing tina t
odds of s to / were obtainable against him,
looking at his tirst-class performances in
the South.
THE OTHER DASHES.
The other events of the day were as fol
lows:

NEGROES AT THE SHRINE.
ST. MARKS CHURCH TO RUN ON
ITS OWN HOOK.

Bishop Howe Says it Can at the Same
Time Retain all it's UNCONVENTIONAL
Rights without Connection with the
Conventional Separate Convention
Suggested.
CHARLESTON, May 14.-St Marks Col
ored Episcopal church at Charleston has
determined to maintain an independent
position. At a recent meeting of the con-
gregation resolutions were adopted express
ing qualification that, after thirteen years
of patient efforts, the constitutional rights
of ST. Marks had been recognized by the
diocesan convention in admitting Rev. J.
H. N. Pollard, its colored minister, to men,
bership in the convention without question
or objection, and in acknowledging that the
convention had no right to enforce its legis-
lation on any parish not in union with the
convention
AN INDEPENDENT POSITION.
In view of these things the congregation
resolved that, inasmuch as the convention
is not the church, ''we deem it best to main
tain an entirely independent position
toward the convention, this diocese claim
ing and asking no recognition from it as a
parish but holding our union in the church
by our allegiance only to the bishop of the
diocese, under the canons and con-
situations of the General Convention
OF the church in the United States,
without reference to the diocesan conven-
ton of South Carolina or its laws
St Marks referred its action to Bishop
Howe, asking whether it shall be able to
continue in this Independent position and
remain as a recognized part of the Episco-
pal Church, and whether he will extend to
it his episcopal ministration and admins
tration.
BISHOP HOwE's REPLY.
In reply to the resolution Bishop Howe
assures st. Marks that it can remain sep
arate and independent congregation, having
no cOncihar connection with other congre-
cations, and still receive the Episcopal SER
vices and be part of the diocese He adj
vises, however. that st. Marks unite in
convention with the other colored congre-
cations in the diocese, as by such conven-
tional association it could best pursue it's
missionary work among the colored people.
A NEGRO CONVENTION SUGGESTED.
Bishop Howe suggests that the colored
parishes meet in October to consider the
question of the organization of a separate
convention. st. Marks last night deter
mined, however, despite the Bishops sug-
ge;tions, to maintain its Independence of
the diocesan convention and of the other
colored congregations, with reservation
that ''if it becomes Impracticable to carry
on the work as an Independent parish imme-
diate steps will be taken to meet the emer-
gency."

AMONG THE ATHENIANs.
The University Dormitory Very Dilap-
idated-Cut by Knives.

iudIeo-Cut Dy Knives.
ATHENS, Ga, May 14.-Charlie C. Poe, a
student of the university of Georgia, has
been very ill for the last two mont with
pneumonia. His physician states that the
cause of his prolonged sickness is the dilap-
idated condition of the dormitory in which
he boards. Large cracks are plentiful
along the floor, and the windows are vide
and rafting. Four times Mr.. Poe has been
on the mend, but the impossibillty to keep
the wind out of this room threw him each
time into relapse. This Old
building has been an eyesore on the campus
for many years and has doubtless been the
cause of sickness which resulted seriously
to the students after their departure from
its walls. If the parents of the young men
now sleeping in this death hole could see
the building, they would order a change of
quarters Immediately, or withdraw their
sons from the University. The "Summey
House, as it is called, is a disgrace to
Athens and the University of Georgia Mr..
Poe is receiving every attention from low
ing hands and skilled physicians
