A colored man, by the name of Trottell
was found dead in his bed out on the Ogee
chez road, yesterday morning. Trottel
lived on the Smith place, opposite the Nc
Cloud King plantation. Coroner Dixor
was notified, but as it was evident thai
Trottells death was due to heart disease

Justice Naughtin said last night that g
second death of colored man, under like
circumstances, in the same neighborhood,
was reported, whose name he was unable tc

Want Better Protection.
Complaints Of burglarious attempts in the
southern part of the city, on West Broad
street, are getting common. An effort was
made to burglarizs a grocery store at
Henry and West Broad street one night this
week, and Tuesday night citizen was
aroused by noise in the yard in the rear of
MS house. When he went to the door he
saw man jump over the fence and make
his escape.
1t is not safe to leave a chair on piazza
over night, and several who have run the
risk, or have forgotten TO take the chairs
In after using them on front pOrches in the
early evening, have found in the morning,
that the night providers had carried them
off,
Petty pilferers are also on the watch dur

cage has been lifted from its bracket on the
front piazza in open daylight.
Probably the worst case of larceny is that

firing of pistols is of nightly occurrence In

A few nights ago one of these lawless
persons fired off a revolver by the open

near Duffy, in which the lady of the house
was lying sick, and the smoke from the

THE DINNER TO CLEVELAND.
Five Hundred Leaders Of the Faithful
Cheer the ex-PresIdent..

New YORK, May 27.-The Young Mems
Democratic Club Of this city gave the much
talked Of banquet to ex-President Cleveland
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel this eveng. Nearly
800 leaders Of the Democracy were the guests.
The enthusiasm evoked by the presence Of
Mr.. Cleveland was unbounded. All factions
Of the Democracy were present. The
speakers were Hon. j. II. V. Arnold, Hon.
w. G.. p. Breckenridge, Gov. Hill, Hon. Geo.
H0adley, f. X. C0udert, Esq. Hon. A. p.
Fitch, Hon. w. Bourke Cochran and ex-
President Cleveland who was introduced by
President Arnold and greeted with tumul-
tuous applause.
In his speech Mr.. Cleveland acknowledged
his gratitude for the kindness Of the citizens
of New York; expressed his loyalty 70 the
Democratic faith and party; referred
to various and conflicting views
held in the party because in
dividual opinion was so freely tolerated,
adding that If one has kept the party faith
that must answer for his party obligation,
and said he deliberately placed In close con-
nection loyalty to Democratic principles and
devotion to the interests OF the people, for,
in his opinion, they belonged together. He
denounced the spoils system. He allowed In
the supremacy Of a party advantages TO its
members, but decried losing sight Of high
party aims for the benefit Of Office holding
and personal pelf. He declared the corner
stone Of the Democratic party and the cause
OF its perpetuity lay in devotion to the rights
OF the people.
