Tint VIII in Any Way Mar the Serenity and
Grnndeur of the Silver Encnmpment.

Thnt VIII In Amy Way Mar the Serenity and
Grandeur of the Silver Encampment.
There is one serious dispute which
threatens to mar the serenity OF the
SILVER Encampment" Of tho G. A. R.
The men in tho Southern States who
were loyal to the Union in the dark
days of 1861 are the ones who now insist
that the negro has no place in the So
cial gatherings Of the Grand Army OF
the Republic.
Col. George T. Hedges, Commander of
the Department OF Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi, and several trusty aides, have
como prepared to fight the matter out.
"Unless the thing is Strengthened out
during this Encampment," Colonel
Hedges said to-day, "there won't be u
white member OF the G. A. r. south Of
the Ohio or Potomac n year hence.
The negroes are outnumbering us
in the posts, thus putting US
directly under them. That we will
not stand, We want to rule our
selves and have the colored people go
by Themselves. Seven of the colored
posts of New Orleans are in favor Of it,
but there are always some kickers, and
understand q delegation from the col
ored posts are coming to fight us. We
have received information that two OF
Chicago's most influential colored men
are on their way to assist us, and we
think We will gain our point. All We
ask for is n provisional department,
embracing Florida, Louisiana, Affssis-
sippi and Texas" A dozen more white
men expressed themselves in similar
strain.
LOUISIANA ALWAYS IN TROUBLE.
Col. james Lewis, (coloredl, Admin
istrator OF Police and Administrator OF
Public Works OF New Orleans, is tho
champion of the colored side. When
asked what the trouble in Louisiana
was, he said: "Did you ever know
time when there was no trouble in
Louisiana? It was Louisiana man
that fired the first shot on Fort Sumter.
1t was Louisianian that beat Gen.
Beuregard for Administrator OF Public
Works, and l am that man, and did
something the Union generals did not
do. The first colored regiment was
raised in Louisiana; Louisiana was the
first State to decide for Hayes; tho
Italian riot was in Louisiana, and now
the colored trouble is sprung there.
Louisiana is always in trouble.
Well,, there were 24,s00 colored
men enlisted in the army from
Louisiana, moro than from all
otherEStates together. We were regu-
larly enlisted, we fought as history tells
you, and then We were honorabty dis
charged. With these things to our
credit, we had all the rights Of any man
to form G. A. r. posts. We did this,
and were recognized by General Alger,
when fight was made on nus. We have
nine posts with membership of over
1000, yet We are not recognized by the
commander Of our department; We get
no representation in the convention,
and are ordered to. report to the Com
mander-in- Chief. We have prepared a
strong case in the matter, and all I ask
is twenty-five minutes In which to pre-
sent it to committee, or the conven-
ton itself. The Department Comman-
der thinks we want social recognition.
claim that the order is not a social one,
but historic and fraternal one"

faces familiar to the nation. Tho strains

The governor Of State is not often

Another delay in the Maxwell case.
The case of Ohio against DR.. David Z.
Maxwell was to have been placed on trial
next Monday, July 9Th, but will not be
tried at that time, owing to an error in
striking the jury. The manner in which q
jury is selected is as follows: The clerk
OF COURTS the auditor and the recorder
select 40 names. From these names each
side may Strike IL, leaving 16 from which
the jury to tsy the case may be selected.
Instead OF thc clerk, the auditor and the
recorder making out the list, the d putty
auditor acted in place Of the auditor.
This, according to the decision Of the Su-
preme Court 10 Irregular, and the jury
will not stand necessitating the selection
OF new list. AS four days notification
must be given end the other preliminaries
will consume considerable time, a delay
OF ten days or two weeks will be the result
The case was all ready for trial and
would in all probability have been tried.
Prosecutor Bow had his case well in hand,
and would have insisted upon the case
going to trial. Judge Critchfeld of Mil
lersburg is in the city in the interest of
the case. A motion has been made to
stike out the jury, as it was not legally
drawn. The court will pass upon the mo-
tion, but the point is sconsidered TO be we'll
taken and a new jury will be drawn.
John G. Welty will assist Prosecutor
Bow when the case comes to trial.

of those killed were so badly burned that

bodies were taken was simply beyond de.
scription. The bodies were lain on the
floor promiscuousIy, and partially covered
with blankets. Some were minus an arm,
some leg, and all we're burned so badly
that the flesh was dropping from the
bones. The head of one man
was almost entirely burned off and others
were in almost the same condition.
The injured were cared for at the depot
a well as the facilities would permit.
Some were removed to the hospitals at
Cleveland. A relief corps OF physicians
and nurses arrived from Cleveland and
lent every assistance in their power.
Superndent Madison arrived from
Meadville, Pa, this morning and in con-
junction with Coroner Sherman is investi-
eating as to the cause of the disaster. He
is inclined to believe that young Fred
Boynton is entirely to blame for
the accident, as he neglected his
duty in not going back at the time he was
ordered so to do by the conductor. Two
hours after the wreck, the front portion of
the train was cleared away from the bal
ance of the train and the train proceeded
on its way with Fred Boynton a passen-
ger. Since he left the scene of the wreck
he has not been seen and 1t Is not known
where he is.
A who xyau linz a ri1o on tho
trucks of the rear coach, was held as a
witness. He noticed his impending dam
ger and got out of harms way.
He saw Boynton stand for some
time leaning against the bumpers
OF the rear car and knows that he was to
blame for the accident as he did not go
back TO flag the train until II was too late
to avert the disaster. The tramp was
placed in Jail TO secure his attendance at
the inquest,
The engineer OF the freight train, No. so,
George Holman, the fireman and the con-
ductor, W. II. Young, jumped before the
train struck, and were not injured. No
trainmen were injured.
Mr.. Jenkins of Corning, New York, had
the party of glass blowers in charge and
lent every assistance towards caring for
the wounded and establishing the identity
OF the dead.
The Ravenna fire department respond
ed promptly TO the alarm and rendered
effective aid.
Coroner Sherman viewed the remains
upon his arrival at the scene of the acci-
dent, and is holding an inquest this after
noon.
Fred Boynton's home is at Meadville,
Pa, but he has been living at Kent for
some time past.
The wS-DEMoCRAT had representa-
tive at the scene of the accident at an
early hour today and was thus able to fur
nish a complete list of the killed and in
jured in our first edition which was pat on
the street at 2 o'clock. No other paper in
the city had a list Of the names.
