THEY WANT ORDER.
Action of Body OF CoIored Men
at Charleston.


COLUMBIA, S. c., Jan. 3.-Pursuant
to a call issued few days ago by prom
inent negroes in Charleston for meet
ing of the leading colored men of the
state to discuss the recent wholesale
lynching at Barnwell. representative
gathering of eolored men was called to
order last night in Westerly Methodist
Episcopal church in this city. Gen.
s. J. Lee, of Charleston. ana President
A. r. Hampton, of the colOred fair asso-
citation, were among those present. On
notice of three days, twenty-slx out of
thifty-fOur counties were represented.
Gen. Lee addressed the convention and
said that they had met there to ask the
whites to join with them in pre-
serving order. He wanted it under
stood that this was no INDIGNATION meet
ing, it was simply to ask the law-abid
ing citizens of both races to work to-
gether. Resolutions adopted condemn
Ing the taking of human life in any way
other than in vindieation of the honor
and integrity of the state as odious to
all just and upright men. Such action
was only iusttiable when done for the
preservation of human life and the
sanctity of home. They advise the
and let the proper authorities vindicate
the law. A second set of resolutions
dwell upon the devotion of the negro to
the whites during the war, condemned
the newspapers for advocating the sep
aration of the races. denied that there
was the slightest danger of an insur-
rectiOn of the negroes in Barnwell or
any other part of the state. and strongly
advised the negroes to abandon Barn
well county and other lawless sections
and move to other parts of the state,
where the laws We're observed.

BUSINESS MEN CONFIDENT,
But There Are Features Which
Suggest Caution.

But There Are Features Which
Suggest Caution.
New YORK, Jan. 3.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says: The
new year opens with most confident
feeling prevalent in all parts Of the
country. and yet with some features
which suggest special caution. The
money markets are strained at the East,
close at Chicago, Cleveland and Detroit.
and closer than before at Kansas City
and Omaha. but at other Western points
fairly supplied. But the advance in the
Bank of England rate, and the signs of
possible disturbance resulting from eX-
cessive speculation abroad, render the
monetary outlook here less clear. The
heavy disbursements for interest and
dividends, estimated at set, 1894, TIC.
at New York alone, nearly per
cent more than last year, will
doubtless give present relief.
Reports from other centers OF trade all
is having depressing influence, but in
other respects are generally encOurag-
ing. Many iron and other mills are
temporarily closed for repairs. Chicago
foOtS up transactions in 1889 amounting
to 81, III, 000,0 900, against 81, lbs, 100000 in
1888, gain of 80 per cent; i'll cured
meats the gain has been 100 per cent,
and in dressed beef, lard and cheese
large; but -four receipts are smaller,
with an increase in grain. The dry
goods trade was fully up to the pre-
vious years, with easy collections. ST.
Louis notes the largest holiday tradoo on
record, and receipts of grain and prod
uce limited only by the transporting
power of the railroads. At Milwaukee
there is an uneasiness as to the near
future, and the weather causes slow
collections and similar fears at Detroit.
At Kansas City and Omaha business is
fair for the season.

Few pleasanter masquerades have
taken place in Minneapolis than the
fancy dress masked ball which was
given oy th6tG. G. G. Climb at Labor

an unusually large attendance, and con-

funest extent.
Another very pleasant affair was the

A Church Fight.

The fight that has been brewing in the
Emmanuel Baptist church for some time
between factions supporting the pastor,
Rev. u. D. McLaurin, and three of the
trustees. w. K. Hicks. George E.
Beardsley and II. H. Smith came to a
focus Friday night and resulted in the
removal OF the trustees named upon
the following charges, upon which they
were tried:
"Incompetency, disregarding the
wishes of the congregation in numerous
things; threatening to garnish certain
funds in the Franklin State bank be-
longing to the Ladies' Aid society: OPP
position to musical improvement, and
faetious opposition to the working
forces of the church, particularly the
work Of the pastor"
The meeting was very stormy one,
and lasted until after midnight. Counter
charges were also made against Dr.. Nc
Laurin, but he had majority of the
congregation on his side and won the
fight. w. X. Hicks asked for letter of
withdrawal from the church for himself
and family, which was granted.

All arrangements have been COM

sumed in making the improvements.
room for three tracks-the same as at
present. The water power company
has agreed to put in the stone piers on
which the work will stand, at the eX-
pense to it approximating $4,000. The
West side mills will be affected a good
deal during the time that the work is
going on. 1t is expected that the water
will be shut out of the canal for six
weeks, but not to a degree which will
prevent enough being secured by steam
mills to enable them u run with their
engines if desired.

JOHN GUY vAssAR's WILL.
The College and Other Institu-
tiOns Get Their Share.

PoUGHKEERsIE, NY, Jan. 3.-Judge
Barnard yesterday filed his decision in
the matter of the construction of John
Guy Vassar'S will. He decides that the
Baptist Church of Poughkeepsie, having
raised $4,000 to pay off a mortgage, is
entitled to the $4,000 given to it by Mr..
9Vassar; that the gifts to several cor
pOrations of sums of money subject to
the payment of annuities are good; that
the coal fund of 81 800 belongs to the
Nassar home for aged men. and that
Vassar college can take its bequest as
$4,000, as the proof fails to show that
at the death of the testator the college
had property to its charter limit. He
declares that the memoranda found in
Mr.. Vassar's satchel have no force
either upon the will or codicils. The
most important part of the decision is
that the gift Of a large sum for a pro-
posed orphan asylum is good. The de-
cision will be undoubtedly carried to
the court of appeals for review.

The BAPTIST Missionary Confer
ence Comes to q Close.
The Baptist conference opened yes
terday morning at o'clock with devo-
tional exercises led by G. H. Kemp, of
Grand Forks, Oak. Following, Rev. w.
S. McKensie addressed the assembly
upon the subject of New Motives in
Mission Work" In this he carefully
portrayed the various reasons which
should move US to aid in the work of
the missionary. How feeble would the
efforts of the missionary, working in a
foreign land and among strange people,
without the aid Of those whom he left be-
hind when he went to fulfil his mission.
Discussion and PRAYER followed, and
then Rev. w. H. Butrick. of st. Paul,
gave an address on 1.-THE Principle of
Missions" stating that as Christ died
for us SO did he for all men, and so the
work to be done in spreading the gospel
has become a sacred duty which we can
not tlsSOw aside Or overlook. The topic,
European Missions" was then dis
cussed by Rev. F. Peterson. of this
city; Rev. c. w. Finnall. of st. Paul,
and III. l.. DietZ, of Milwaukee. The
morning session then closed with
prayer.

FIRE AT The "U."
The Main Building Badly DAM
aged by Water.

The main building of the University
of Minnesota narrowly escaped destruc-
ton by fire yesterday. The building
was badly damaged by water, but the
valuable library was removed without
damage to the law building adjoining.
The fire, which was due to defective
flue, originated in the garnet and badly
burned the rafters and roof. The fire
was first discovered by Miss Yattow,a
daughter of the janitor, who raised an
alarm. The fire department responded
promptly and 10y hard work succeeded in
combining the flames to the attic, but the
entire building was flooded with water
before the blaze was eXtinguiShed.
President Northrop arrived soon after
the fire started, and he at once went to
work to save the library. Hastily press
ing every man and boy that he could
find into service, he had the books re-
moved to the law building before the
water reached the library rooms. Chief
StetSon estimates the loss at about
Sl,5C0; but, as almost all of the plaster
ing will have to be renewed,it will prob
ably be more. Prof. w. w. Folwell
says it may reach $1,000.

upon the electrical companies at this
time OF the year when everything was
frozen up and work on the condults was
impossible. Aid. Bradish, iD sarcastic
way referred to the council as an
assistant board of directors to the
telegraph, telephone and electric light
companies. He said that the council
had only to be asked for a thing by
them to get it. and it was now high time
that they were given to understand in
plain English that when the under
ground ordinance was passed three
years ago it was intended that it should
be enforced. After considerable dis
cussion the amendment was lost, and
the ordinance was passed by vote of
q yeas and nays.

THOSE LITTLE FEES.
City Clerk Haney Explains His Po-
GitiOn.

The publication yesterday that City
Clerk Charles +. Haney had not turned
all the fees received by him into the
city treasury was the cause of consider
able comment. When the star-eyed
goddess of retrenchment and reform,
prrsonified by the present Republican
municipal administration, marched into
the city hall, every one connected with
the wide open and corrupt represent
atiyes of Democracy, from the mayor to
the elevator boy, were bodily fired, and
number of nice, quiet, Christian gentle
men was installed in the places made
vacant. When Charles f. Haney wa
elected city clerk there was a big talk
about retrenchment and the abolition
of the fee system which the Republic
cans claimed was so nefariouS. Mr..
haney WAS heartily in favor Of abolish
ing the tee system in his Ot1ice-prO-
Yided his salary was increased. He
was allowed $500 year, and the sup
position was that every dollar he re-
ceiyed in fees was to be turned into the
city treasury. But this was not so. The
law was adroitly wOrded, and the
crumbs which still fall to the city clerk
in the shape of fees are more than suffi-
cient to keep the wolf from an ordinary
mans door. When approached on
the subject yesterday Mr.. Haney
admitted that he still re-
ceiyed the fees, but added:
The published statement that L have
retained something over $1,000 in fees
which Shouli have been turned into the
city treasury is an Infamous lie, and
was published at the instance OF the
Wheeler Reflector company of Chicago,
who think l am opposed to them secur-
ing the contract for lighting the streets.
l have the written opinion of the city
law, and L have turned into the city
treasury every month all money received
by me that the city is entitled to. l
am not at all worried by the report. for
l have acted in good faith and kept in
side the law"
