Y. NJ. c. A. Gospel Meetings.

Every Sunday afternoon from $50 to
5 o'clock the Y. NJ. G. A. conducts
young mems gospel meeting, which is
growing to be an attractive, as we'll as a
profitable feature of association work.
The meetings were formerly held in
the lecture room, but owing to the large
number of young men attending the as
sociation was compelled to make use of
the gymnasium on the ground floor.
Probably one of the reasons why so
large number of young men respond
to the cordial inyitation--young men
going out into the "highways"-is the
excellent music which the orchestra
furnishes for the preliminary song SER
vice. Another reason is that the pur-
pose of the association is non-sectarian,
and does not come within or intel fere
with church work, but is wholly in SYM
pathy and harmony with it. These
meetings have been helpful to all
classes of men, and no doubt when the
proposed building is erected, in which
room with large seating capacity is
expected to be had, will be still more
largely attended

the Illegal collection of fees which have
been exactsd from the farmers.
The ordinance introduced at the last meet

DAVE PELoT CAPTURED.

on a Belt Line Car.
David Pelot, the colored porter who shot
his wife last Saturday morning, was ar
rested yesterday morning by Detective
Basch on a Belt Line car in front of the
City Exchange, and yesterday afternoon
the mother of Pelot's wife swore out "a
warrant in Justice Russell's court charging
Pelot with shooting with intent to Kill.
Pelot, who, it seems, has been IN hiding
with a friend of his fathers in the city,
went to his wife's house at ii o'clock mig 1t
before last and wanted Abundance, but
his mother-ln-law refused to let him
in. He went there again yesterday morn
ing about s O'clock but was again re-
fused admission. He then asked for a shirt,
which was handed out of the
window to him. He was refused permits
sion to come in the house to put on the
garment, and he then asked if he might
come in the yard and put it on. This was
also refused, as the family had heard that
Pelot had said that he wanted to finish his
wife and then he would give himself up.
Permission TO come in the house having
also been refused. he threw the garment in
the window and left.
His suffering wife with difficulty was
propped up in bed AMI wrote an appeal to
the solicitor general for protection, but an
hour later Pelo5 had been tracked aud was
in custody of the arresting officer, and safely
lodged in Jail.
The woman was much improved last
night when a MORNING NEWS reporter saw
her, and the arrest of her husband has re-
lieved her mind of the fear which
his visits had inspired. DR.. Sheftall,
her attending physician, says that the bail
which entered her side has lodged in the
lung, but that fact does not necessarily inn
ply that the wound will be fatal

FIVE DOLLARS EASILY EARNED.

book.

The Reward of Two Colored Boys
Who Found a Well Filled Pocket
book.
Mister duz yo' know ur anybody OATS
los er pocketbookF chirped two little
colored urchins peering over the counter
at one of the hotels yesterday afternoon.
The proprietor, to whom the question was
propounded, shook his head to the youths
and pointed to the door. They hurried out.
Two hours later robust gentleman stepped
up to the counter and said, "By golly, old
fel, I've lost my pocketbook with $40 in it,
What am going to do about it," Before
the proprietor could collect his thoughts the
questioner had squared himself at the
desk to write a notice which he pinned up,
Offering $40 reward to the finder Of the
pocketbook. The hotel man revolved the
question in his head until he remembered
the face of the urchins who had been
to him a short time before, aud
then he solved it. Without a word
he started down Broughton street to
Abercorn, where he met a bootblack who
saw the urchins when they came into the
hotel, and piloted him to Hull aud Hous-
ton streets, where the two boys were found
playing ball in the square.
rs yo' huntin' fur't?' asked one of them
who recognized the hotel man.
Inc MOTEL man told him that he was after
the book.
81 gin show yo' de boy what foun' it,
den," said the little negro. He led off and
the hotel man followed, until they came to a
little house long way in the eastern part
of town. When they came up to the place
the proprietor asked il anybody there had
found a book with $40 in it.
YES was the reply.
"Well, I've come for it" said the proprie-
tor.
The pocket-book was produced with all
except about $3 so of the money This
amount had been spent. The hotel man
made the boys go back to the hotel with
him, and when the book was placed in the
hands of the loser he recognized it and at
once ident fled it as his. The boys were
given S. each. The hotel man boasts that
few detectives can turn tricks" with the
cunning that he does. He believes that he
can outwit Pinkerton's men.

TROUBLE OF TWO DROM1os.
The Dromio Of Macon and Dromio {

The Dromio of Macon and Dromio OF
Savannah Get Badly Mixed.
James K. Polk of Macon has been arrested
for cheating and swindling. 1t appears,
according to the Macon Telegraph, that
some time ago Polk went to the Central
railroad, and, being identified, took out a
box addressed "James X. Polk Shortly
afterward James X. Polk of Savannah filed
a claim against the railroad for box cor
responding to the one given to the Dromio
of Macon and which he claimed contained
$500 worth of silk goods. Upon this cue
the railroad issued search warrant and
state warrant against the Macon Dromio.
His house was searched, but no silk samples
were found
The peculiar part of the transaction is
that the box claimed by the Savannah
Dromio, and which he says contained $500
worth of silk goods, came from c. f.
Brewer at Ocala, Fla, on whose letter head
the musical inscription, Dealer IN pianos,
organs, musical Instruments, etc. APP
pears
The box the Dromio of Macon received
and opened, he says, contained a mattress
and pair Of quilts.

The Plantations on the Pee Dee and
Santee Rivers Under Water
A Georgetown IS. c. special says that
the recent freshets in the Pee Dee river have
done great deal of damage to the crops.
The entire rice crop on the upper part of
the river will be a total loss, the plantations
having been submerged for eight or ten
days. The June rica on the upper part of
the Wacoamaw river will also be a total
loss, and some of the May rice is badly
damaged. The crops along the middle and
lower sections of th5se rivers aud the Black
river are safe, 50 far. and if they escape the
rice birds and the annual eqIinoctial gales,
there will be good average crop harvested,
notwithstanding the unpcopitious spring.
The April rice is fully ten days behind ia
maturing, and the June rice, owing to CON
slant rains, is advanced two or three weeks,
consequently it is feared that the birds will
destroy a great deal of it.
The Neios and Courier says that tire crop
on the South Santee river is under water t.
great extent and is badly damaged.
