DOODLE TOPS PRAYER
Broadax Smiths Sage Advice to
Flemon's Friends.
FLEMON MUST GO BACK THURSDAY.
The Local Colored Folks Will Carry the
War Into Africa.
WHAT THE TWO GOVERNORS REMARKED


The Rev. Mr.. Flemon, alias Yeldell, was
not sent South yesterday, as was expected,
and the colored preacher about whom so
much has been said must be content with
his present confinement for another "a. or
possibly 4S hours. The delay in the deputy
marshal's departure with their man is due to
the fact that the Sheriff has not received the
necessary papers from the Executive, author
izing him to turn his prisoner over to the
South Carolina authorities, and until every
formality in this respect has been complied
with the Rev. E. F. Yeldell cannot stir from
the city. During the day Deputy Lyon re-.
ceived the following telegram from Governor
Richardson:
Take prisoner to Columbia and turn him over
to Sheriff.
The receipt of this message was regarded
as the precursor of still further marching in
structions from Governor Beaver, but
though various visits we're made by the
deputies to the postofice and other sources
of information, none had arrived up to
late hour. There is a probability Of the
necessary papers having arrived on last
nights mail, and in the event of their
reaching the hands of Marshal Strom and
his coadjutor this morning
A QUICK RETREAT
will be made southwark. Two things are
clear, however, namely: that Governor
Beaver will not issue the papers for yell
dell's extradition until he has received as
surance from the South Carolinian Governor
that Yeldell will be sufficiently protected, and
that Sheriff McCandless will insist on every
formality being undergone before handing
over his prisoner.
The more intelligent amongst the colored
people, as gathered from conversations held
with some of them yesterday, are now con-
vinced that Yeldell will receive fair treat
ment and fair trial at the hands of the
Southerners, for, as they justly reason, so
much and such widespread publicity has
been given to the facts in the case that if
the Palmetto State does not accord Flemon
every opportunity for fair trial its reputa-
ton for justice will
BE BLASTED FOREVER.
Consequently there is not so much excite
ment amongst colored people as during the
earlier stages of the case, and only occasion
ally yesterday did sentiment, regarding the
wind up of the fight, find vent in strong ex-
pressions.
The pair o. deputies spent their time very
much as they did the previous weeks, in
strolling from their hotel to Central station,
and from Central station to their hotel, with
occasional short excursions toward the Court
House and City Hall. If the wrathful
glances shot at them yesterday evening from
the blazing orbs OF group of gaily attired
colored misses, who pulled up opposite Gen.
tral station to have look at the two South
eners. could have killed, verify these two
gentlemen would never again look upon the
fair
LAND OF THEIR BIRTH.
They cheered up yesterday at the prospect
of soon returning home. and Deputy Strom
whiled away the time spent in the chairs on
the sidewalk by describing some Of the pc
culiarities of the people 'mongst whom he
lives.
"It is long and lonely journey we have
before us tomorrow" said the Deputy. ST
hoped to have got home by Sunday, but I
reckon we won't now"
They expect to take their prisoner away
without any noise or trouble, and are conf.
dent that he will be given every oppor-
tunity for defense wher brought to trial.
ANOTHER LIVELY MEETING.
The colored people were very slow in
gathering at the Franklin street school,
house last night, and it was $40 o'clock
before President Isaac Washington took his
seat and $40 before he called time on the
assemblage. Mr.. Massey made a prayer;
and the decks were cleared for action.
The Chairman stated that the object of
the meeting was to take steps to follow the
Flemon case to South Carolina.
Mr.. Foster still adhered to his original
proposed plan. to have lawyer of national
dafaud F1au,nu IL H.
appointment of a committee to procure legal
talent.
Mr.. d. M. Washington objected, stating
that Rev. Clinton had been given a draft on
New York to secure lawyer in South Caro-
lima, and thought it best to await the report
of Rev. Clinton before taking action.
Mr.. G. W. Massey thought the commit
tee might be appointed all the same and
Mr.. Clinton placed on it. The suggestion
prevailed, and Rev. G. W. Clinton, j. M.
F. Foster and NJ. X. Holland were ap-
pointed the committee.
FLEMoN ISN'T A GOOSE.
Mr.. d. NJ. Washington stated that he had
called on Rev. Flemon yesterday and found
that it was far from his mind either to
suicide or attempt the destruction of the
South Carolina officers. He said Flemon
Ielt grateful to the press and people of
Mr.. Washington said he was
now well satisfied to see Flemon go 70
South Carolina, as he believed the agitation
had made 1t possible for the accused to get
in the nature of fair trial, and
with good lawyer to defend him stood
fair show OF being allowed to come back to
Mr.. Washington thought the
South Carolina deputy sheriff who was al
legged to have said "a niger couldn't look a
white man in the face " didn't know the
negroes of Pittsburg, and only judged from
the down-Jodden specimens he met with in
South Carolina. The deputy referred to
was Mr.. Strom.
Mr. Roy said he didn't believe Mr.. Strom
was representative of the better class of
South Carolina people. The alleged OBJ
ectionable utterance was "that the niggers
IF South Carolina didn't get justice or more
of them would be killed"
SOME OF BRoADAx's CHIPS.
Broadax Smith reported the conference of
The committee and Governor Beaver in Har-
risburg. Broadax said that not dollar
had been wasted, and it would not be
wasted even If Flemon were to be hung.
didn't take much stock in South |
Carolina. Northern Democracy didn't have
much place in Mr.. Smiths confidence, let |
alone Southern Democracy. He doesn't |
have much confidence in Flemon's release,
and doesn't want any church work. ''It's |
Ill right to pray, but put your Doodle on top !
IF it. The churches have been praying,
out Flemon goes back to South Carolina ali |
he same" Mr.. Smith said he'd rather |
have dollars than all the prayers that can
be put up.
