Late last Friday evening Ben Baty
passed by Browning and Kings and
Louis Nash one of the Clerks who is well
acquainted with him made some joking
remark. Baty replied and pulled pis-
tol from his pocket which he was carry
ing home for friend and it accidentlv
went off inflicting serious wound in
Nash's leg. Baty was ARRESTED, but as it
was clearly proven that the shooting
was an accident he was discharged.
The Grand Jury, now in session, sifted
the evidence in the case of A. Glenn,
alias John Morrison, who was placed in
durance vii about two months and a
half ago, charged with sodomy, and
was unable to find anything to warrant
an Indictment so he was discharged
Wednesday. 1t seems unjust that he
should be kept in Jail all this time de-
prived of liberty when he was not guilty
There should be some remedy for such
cases. The friends of the young man
are highly elated over the fact that he
has been declared innocent of the crime
with which he was charged.
The APPEAL had pleasant call from
Bishop j. M. Brown of Washington and
DR.. W. B. Derrick, of New York yester-
day, and subsequently had the pleasure
accompanying the Reverend gentle
men to the Parochial residence and in
Producing them to the distinguished pre-
late Archbishop Ireland. The visit on
his Grace was most pleasant one. In
the conversation he reiterated senti.
ments expressed in sermon in Washing.
ton some months ago and said they were
uttered from christian conviction. DR..
Derrick left last night to attend an i'm
portant meeting in New York Monday
Bishop Brown will leave Monday. He
will fill the pulpit at st. James church
tomorrow.

years from slavery to freedom" The
reputation of Mr.. Derrick as an orator is
world wide and be came fully up to the
expectations of his auditors in his ad.
dress which was highly instructive and
entertaining and copiously interlarded
with good, wholesome advice. His re.
marks were frequently interrupted by
enthusiastic applause by the higly pleas
ed audience. After the lecture a. recep.
ton was held in the basement Of the
church, and the ladies and gentlemen
crowded around the distinguished d.
vine to shake his hand. Bishop Johr
M, Brown and his amiable wife were
present and added not little to the
pleasure of the occasion. The choir un
der the direction of Prof. J. w. Lucs
rendered some excellent music. The
reception was conducted by Mrs. James
Banister assisted by Mesdames Addie
Henry, G.. Walden, and others, and wa.
