Collared Collar-girl and Cash.

= z
Cincinnati, o., July l5.-Jeferson
Kinney, the Colored collector of the e.
ectric Laundry has skipped with be-
tween $500 and $500 belonging to his
employer. As might be expected, there
is a girl in the case.
Kinney disappeared early Friday
night. and at the same time Julia Con-
nelly, pretty white girl. who is collar
ironer, is missing.
There is every reason to believe that
Kinney and the girl have eloped, as
their actions in the past caused the en-
ployees of the laundry to talk. There
was every indication that the pair were
in love with each other.
Kinney is married man and lived
with his wife and two children on Nc
Allister street. He is mullatto, good
looking. and a neat dresser. He entered
the employ of the Electric LaundIy
about ten years ago. Being polite, he
soon pushed his way up in the estima-
ton Of his employer. Mr.. Spokesman.
He was the principal employee of the
place. He collected all the bills, had
the combination of the safe and had
general control Of the business.

to advocate the civil, political and equal
rights of our citizens. They fall short of
their duty when they don't do it. they
need to give the workings of our churches
and to discuss social, moral and other
topics of to-day. The daily papers of
Minneapolis and St. Paul, he said, prac-
tically ignores us. He said he was not
there to advertise newspapers, and when
they became aggressive then they should
lose their support. He thought our
fault to be, wanting to publish things
which our enemies are DESTROYS of pub
fishing.
He feared that our Press here is not
fearless enough in discussing our civil
rights. He concluded by again urging
the Press and pulpit to unite hand in
hand in forwarding pure public senti-
ments for all that is right.

SELLING WINGS,
In Anticipation of Judgment Day
the New Messiah Provides
Means for Reaching
Heaven by a New Route.

Savannah, Ca, July l6.-Liberty
County is excited over the proceedings
of Dupont Bell, of Circleville, Ohio, who
claims to be the New Messiah. He is a
tall. sallow individual, with long black
hair. Senator Bradwell, who lives at
Hinesville, is kept constantly informed
az to the latest developments in the case.
''This man." he said, appeared sud-
denly six weeks ago. He proclaimed
himself the Son of God, and the Colored
people went mad over him.
THEY DESERTED THEIR FRIENDS
To follow him, and now things are so
bad that it is impossible to get hands on
the plantations near Peterborough. The
Colored peoole kneel before him and
struggle with each other for the privilege
Of kissing his feet. He has told them
that the judgment Day will be here the
10th of August. He says the white peo-
ple have enjoyed their paradise on earth
for the last eighteen centuries, and now
it will be the black mans turn. On the
eagerly-looked-for 10th every white man
wILLTURN BLACK
And black man white: He says his
body was born thirty years ago in Ohio,
but his soul has been since the world
began. On the 2Sth of June he was ar
rested on a charge of vagrancy, but it
was impossible to hold him on such a
charge, as he had quantity of money
in his possession. If he were to be ar
rested now 500 Colored men would be
ready to 60 on his bond, and the women
would tear the building down where he
was confined with their fingers to get
him out His
SCHEMES FOR RAISING MONEY
Are peculiar. The last effort was a
declaration that he had sent to his au-
gust father for consignment of wings
which the Colored people will need on
and after the 18th of August. There was
corner on wings when his requisition
reached heaven, and the Almighty was
only able to send $50 pairs. These he
claimed, would be delivered on Judgment
day, and, in the meanwhile, he would
sell them at S. pair. Every pair has
been bought and paid for. He thinks his
father may be able to send him a few
more pairs
BEFORE THE GEEAT DAY.
Bell is now confined at the State Lu-
matte Asylum at Milledgeville. His
teachings made such disturbance in
Liberty County, that a warrant for luna
cy was was sworn out, and recently he
was arrested at Fleming. The arrest was
made at baybreak to prevent the Color.
ed people coming to his assistance.

The interest in the coming celebration
at the State Fair Grounds Thursday,
August LIST, is hourly increasing as the
time approaches. The people are pleas
ed with the idea of holding celebra-
ton. on the beautiful Fair Grounds. It
must be remembered that the occasion
is in no wise picnic where one goes to
loll around in the woods; but day of
celebration in commemoration of the
emancipation Of the Slaves in the West
Indies. Every one knows there is am
pie sitting room on the grand stand,
which is shady, airy, and comfortable.
Here those who attend NAV sit and wit
ness the great trotting races, of which
there will be several; the contest for the
finest rig, occupied by a lady and gentle
men; the grand exhibition foot-race Of
220 yards by the handsome young spirit
ed Mr.. D. Clark; the several foot races
by the crack runners of the state, and
the great sweepstakes race with it's nu-
merous entries; the shooting match at
clay pigeons; the great ten-mile bycicle
race; the base ball games and the other
amusements that will be provided. Mu-
sic will be furnished by the brass band
| during these contests and between the
speeches. Look at the array of talent
among the speakers; never before have
SO much been gathered together; the
two new Colored lawyers, Messrs. F. L..
McGhee end w. S. Morris; Rev. r. H.
Williamson and G. II. Thomas of Mime
apolis; Revs. L. c. Sheafe, ]. M. Hen
| derson and William Gray of st. Paul
| Miss Eva Mcdonald secretary Of the
| Eight-Hour League; VIM. NJ. Bushnell
Esq. president of the State Fair Associ-
alton will deliver the welcome address;
besides there will be some other int r.
esting features added to the liter
ary programme of the day. For the low
ers of dancing two pavillions are provid-
ed remote from the grand stand, where
they may dance to their hearts content
during the entire.day. Excellent music
has been provided.
This is not picnic where some folks
60 to great expense to get up lunch bas-
kets and feed a lot Of folks that don't
take any, but dinner may be enjoyed in
the large dining hall and and all sorts OF
refreshments obtained from the differ
ent stands at moderate rates. OF course
any one who chooses to do so may take
a lunch along, but the trouble and ex.
pense may be obyiated by obtaining
dinner on the ground.
The Fair Grounds are SO close to each
of the twin cities that all the young
bloods are contemplating driving out
thus having that pleasure added to the
days enjoyment. Parties can also be
made up to 60 to the grounds from eth.
er Minneapolis or st. Paul in large wag

ing. Taken all together from the varied
sports and pastimes which may be in

grounds, only there f every reason {

John Powers, Colored, an employee of
the Cincinnati Southern Railroad Com
pany, fatally shot Warren Harris at Gin
cinnatl Sunday morning. Jealousy was
the cause.
Henry Shelton, Colored fireman on
an Ohio river steamboat one day this
week attempted to save the life of q
child which had fallen overheard, and
both were drowned.
Joseph Smith ate onions and cheese
and drank glass of beer and boarded
street car in Brooklyn. A disguised
citizen threw him off, and when Joseph
went into court for redress the Jury
wouldn't give him any.
The Colored people of Tiptonville,
Tenn, don't know the rules of poker.
The other day, when one of their num-
won $5 at the game and proposed to
keep it. they ran him off to the woods
and sought to hang him.
At the Polk County Republican con-
vention held in Des Moines, Iowa, last
week Mr.. G. s. Stewart was elected dele
gate'at-large to the State convention.
He is the first Colored man who has
ever had this honor conferred on him
in that State.
At Vincennes, Ind, Jonathan Cox,
worthless Colored man, was sent to Jail
Saturday, for killing notorious charac-
ter named Moses Hamilton, also Col
ored. Both men married white women
and in quarrel last Sunday, growing
out of their wives, Cox slashed Hamil-
ton across the abdomen with a razor
which resulted in the latter's death.
At Mount Pleasant, Fla, on Tuesday,
Frances Cooper, a Colored woman, in
vited three other Colored women to dine
with her. After eating they we're seized
with commissions and one died. Mrs.
Cooper was arrested and confessed that
she had a grudge against the women and
put "Rough on Rats" in their food.
The two surviving victims will probably
die.
Yesterday saw young Dumas picture
at the Exposition Gallery, by Bonnat, a
great portrait painter here; it showed
grey-haired, strained, ageing man, more
French than African, though he is yell
low man, and his grand mother was
mulatto. He wrote "Camille' at 20,
when probably he had fallen in love
with his mistress, and heightened her
cearacter to be that of a sacrificing one.
The tale of love is never told in vain,
and the act of sacrifice of lost woman
is a noble one; greater love hath no
Magdalen than this that she lay down
her love for her friend.-Gath in Gin
cinnati Eenquirer.
Tomas Jefferson, Colored, was hanged
in the corridor of the Memphis,
Tenn, Jail at 1:23 o'clock Saturday
afternoon. His neck was not broken
in the fall, and he was strangled
strangled to death in eighteen minutes.
The crime for which Jefferson suffered
the death penalty was the murder of
William Ragland, Colored, on Oct. 70,
1888. On the night of the murder Jeffer-
son returned home to find his mistress
gone. Knowing that Ragland had been
trying to induce the woman to leave, he
armed himself with razor and went to
Ragland's room. He found his rival in
bed, and grabbing him by the hair
forced his head backward and cut his
throat. 49,.
