Flemon, the Alleged Murderer, Well spokeu
O-Mr. Holiday Persuaded Him 20
Become Minister.
For an alleged murderer, E. F. Flemon, the
colored preacher, who was arrested Monday
night in the Wesley Church on Arthur street,
bears a very estImable character among people
who have known him since he has been in the
city. Mr.. Ball, with whom Flemon has been
staying for the last two years, said yesterday
the man had behaved himself like gentleman
while living at his home, 20 Logan street Then
his acquaintance were seen at the Central
Hotel, and most of them remembered him wel,
Mr.. Smith, the headwaiter. said: "Flemon
always kept himself aloof from the rest Of the
edge and education"
According to the servants register, 1t appears
that Flemon first went to work at the hotel IN
there only month Albert Thomson, who
was very friendly with Flemon at the time he
came to the Central, said the man had previ-
ously worked at the Union depot and after he
left the Central he was at the Boyer for some
time.
Regarding his career as a preacher. the

mans acquaintance about two years
ago, when he boarded on Bedford avenue,1 said
been local preacher in the Baptist church
l persuaded him then to join our church, and
from the very first he devoted great deal Of
time to church work. When saw that he was
In earnest, advised him to study for the min
istry. He then went to Wilberforce, o., for
Two seasons. and when he got back gave him
license as local preacher in our church.
Since then his character or behavior has al
ways been the same, and to do the young man
Justice, must say that he is an exemplary
man."
In spite of these facts Inspector McAleese
says he is sure of his man. He got a letter
from the Sheriff of Elizabeth county, South
Carolina, two weeks ago describing the man
minutely, especially mentioning the scar on the
left cheek. The Inspector states that he has
had Flemon under surveillance for the last ten
uays, and there Is no mistake about him.
Flemon will be brought into court this morn
ing on a writ of certiorari, applied for by G. r.
McKenna, ESQ.,, his counsel.

CHECKED BY A MAYOR
The Corozial Flying Horse Must Be
Stabbed at 9 O'Clock, P. n.
ITS OWNER OPPOSES HIS HONOR.
Not Bound to Put Children to Sleep, Even
if They Do Flirt.
A THEATER-MUsEUM FOR ALLEGHENY.

The corozial or steam flying horse in the
Coliseum on Federal street, Allegheny. is
in trouble. The manager of the concern
has been ordered by Mayor Pearson to close
up at 9 o'clock. The reason of this is said
to be the numerous complaints OF parents
to the Mayor that their daughters were
staying out very late at that place. They
also say. it is stated, that it is very much
against the moral welfare of their daughters.
For this reason the fiery, untamed steed has
been ordered to quit at the above specified
time.
The manager of the Flying Dutchman" was
seen concerning the order and said in answer
to questions:
Mayor Pearson called here Saturday night
and requested that close at O'Clock. He
stated that he had received many complaints that
children were spending their evenings here, and.
consequently staying out late. Now, as far as
this business is concerned. 1 say that it is an
innocent amusement. 1t keeps the young people
off the streets and out of the saloons.
AS TO THE MAYOR.
Informed the Mayor tha: It his place to
have an officer here to send these children home
at O'Clock, If their parents wanted them to CO. L
certainly cannot be held responsible to have them
home early. They may as well ask me to take them
home and put them to bed. Ihave made it
point to expel any person who has not conducted
himself in orderly manner.
This same business is carried on in Lancaster,
and in Philadelphia in Fairmont Parks. In the
parks at what is known as Lemon Hill or the
''Milk House. - there are two IN operation. run
ming the whole week, Sunday included. This
certainly proves conclusvely that they are con-
sidered moral amusement in that city. 1t is not
as so the in mascr tais CITY his suggestion
and close early. This is not because 1 stand in
awe of him, or because think the law would
compel me to close; but because wish to leave
good impression, as expect to open up in Allie
Rheny at some future day. NV lease expires on
the last day of this month, ana am then going to
Atlantic city.
A NEW THEATER COMING.
couple of officials at the Allegheny City
Hall were spoken to concerning the closing Of
the concern. and said it was because it keeps
so many young girls out late. and also because
the place is one where great deal of firtingis
carried on. They refused to state whether the
order given by the Mayor to close early would
be enforced If the management refused to
obey.
The old Coliseum is to be torn down at the
first of next month and in its place two-story

will be rather handsome, and will have 'front.'

ing of Glass Manufacturers.
Chambers & Mckee did not withdraw from
the Window Glass Manufacturers Association,
as was enormously stated in some Of the papers
yesterday morning. This is new firm and
never did belong to the organization. The Arm
of A & d. n. Chambers, of which Mr.. James
A. Chambers was the senior member, belonged
TO the association, but when that firm ceased
to exist the name was naturally dropped from
the list.
Mr.. Sellers Mckee, who is the junior MEM
ber of the firm Of Chambers & Mckee, never
was in the window glass business. but operated
a flint house on the Southside.
Mr.. Chambers called the meeting of the assc-
the firm with the association and drawing his
monev out of the syndicate pool. This pool was
form Cd by the members several years ago for the
purposes of maintaining prices, and each firm
was required to put up a forfeit OF 500 for
every pot they operated. If a member was de-
Mr.. Chambers had 40 pots, and there is, there
fore, 81, 600 due him from the Association. He
announced that, as his firm was no longer a
member OF the organization, he could not serve
on the Wage Committee, and rendered his
resignation.
This action was severely condemned by sew
eral manufacturers who were spoken to on the
subject yesterday. One of them said: HE
was not elected a member of the Wage Com
mittee as representative of the firm of A. d
d. II. Chambers, but as James A. Chambers,
window glass manufactures, His partner
never belonged to any manufacturers' assocla-
tIon, and believe this movement will result in
the operation of the big factory as non
union concern"
