burst Of pent-up joy and patriotism. ,
hurricane of shouts rent the air, and witt
the waving of flags and banners lasted foi
several minutes A flag was immediatel'

the ceremony had been performed, and in
simultaneously all the bells in the city rang
out triumphantly, while cannon doomed

Washington bowed low to the vast cheer

Senate chamber, where he delivered
short inaugural address remarkable for its
modesty dignity and wisdom
After his address, President Washington,
attended by the vice-President, Chancellor
Livingston, Cabinet officers and other dig
nitaries. went to St Pauls Chapel, where
prayers were read by Bishop Provost, ont
of the chanlains OF Congress- The churcl
was crowded, and the services very In
pressive. After they were over the Presi

evening the ci Y was brilliantly Illuminated
and the people, who usually retired early
sat up until a late hour talking about the

The Brookhaven leader., 1889-05-02

Having made formal Introduction, the
Woo President turned to Washington and
gravely addressed him as follows; Sir, the
Senate and House of Representatives. OF the

A FATHERS VENGEANCE.
A Negro Saloon Porter's Disreputable AG
and Summary Punishment.

Negro Saloon Porter's Disreputable Act
and Summary Punishment.
ST JOSEPH, No., April 26.-Yesterday
Lewis jackson, a negro porter in billiard
hall and saloon took an insulting note to
the eighteen year old daughter of Charles
Nowland, q prominent citizen of this city,
purporting to have been written by a man
and sent by Jackson. The young lady
banded the note over to her father who
had Jackson arrested. At the marshal's
Office the negro stuhbornly refused to re-
veal the name of the sender of the note
when the enraged father shot him four
times with probably fatal effect.
ST. JOSEPH, No, April 2T-Last night it
was learned that the insulting note car
ried by Lewis jackson, the colored porter,
to Miss Nowland, for refusing to tell the
author of which her father yesterday shot
and fatally wounded Jackson, was writ
ten by a fouTtesn-year-ol boy in q
wholesale tobacco store at Jackson's die
tation. The porter's idea was to learn if
the young lady would make appointments
with men, and, if so, he proposed to add
her name to the list he had for the benefit
of those who might ask for them.
When he was arrested, so it was stated
Yesterday jackson was taken to the pri-
in company with Nowland aud his brother
and the chief. The doors were locked and
Nowland borrowed the revolver of the
chief and advancing seized Jackson by
the throat fore ng him to his knees. Then
pointing a revolver at him, the muzzle al
most against Jackson's face, he de-
manded the name of the party
for whom he had carried the note fall
ing to secure which he swore he would
kill Jackson. The n"gro was terri fed and
began to yell as loudly as possible and to
beg for help. His cries were heard all
over the City Hall and across on Second
street. This was kept up for almost all
hour, Jackson steadily denying that ne
knew the name of the man who had given
him the note. II Jackson should die an
effort will be made to hold the chief as
an accessory to the killing. So far he has
declined to say anv thing in his defense.
