and who, the witness has since
learned, was Mr.. Liebler, of Liebler

him and said: "Keep still. We will

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. 10. The
Rev. Geo. F. Nightingale, pastor of
one of the largest colored Baptist
churches in the United States has
advised his people to arm them
selves with Winchester rifles for the
purpose of exterminating the whites.
A large number of his followers
agreed to take his advice but others
would not do so. A free fight among
the factions was the result. The
furniture of the church was smash
ed and a number of men injured.
The police have arrested many OF
the ring leaders. The recent George
town Ky, lynching furnished the
text for the Rev. Nightingale's at
tack on the whites.

CASE OF INFANTICIDE.
Murdered Babe Found Near the Com.
mercial Street Extension.

mercial Street Extension.
A case of deliberate infanticide came to
light early yesterday morning. Ferdi-
nand Weinburg, butcher, who lives at
the European hotel, at the northeast cor
ner of Commercial and Weller streets, dis
covered parcel which he thought it had
evidently been intended to throw in
the bay, but which, instead, had fallen
upon some floating logs Weinburg saws
he made this discovery about 4:30 a. m.
He was repairing boat at the time, and
c!ambered out on some trestle work and
secured the parcel, which he took to Lud-
wigs saloon, thinking that he was thus
made richer by some easily obtained wear
ing apparel that had been dropped by its
owner.
He said. in very broken English, that
his suspicious were aroused later by the
fact that the parcel was little too heavy
for underclothing. He investigated. and
TO his horror discovered that his "hnd"
was an infant, fully developed and ma
tured, which evidently had just been born.
An ugly cash had been inflicted on the
back part of its head by knife. appar-
entity. Weinburg said, however, that it
was made by piece of Hat stone which
was near the parcel, and which he calls
can Indian stone" The child was wrapped
in Seattle Tribune of May IA.
Weinburg took the body to police head
quarters, and it was subsequently turned
over TO Coroner Horton, who ordered il
to be buried by Bonney & Stewart, the I'M
dertakers. Dr. Horizons investigation has
not yet resulted in fixing the parentage of
the body. The child was white one and
had quite growth of dark brown hair.

CHUN LUNGS WISH.
Petitions the Court for Ameri-
can Citizenship.
THE SHARKS JURY DIsAcREEs.
Unable to Arrive at Verdict, They
Are Discharged From Further Con-
sideration of the Case.

An interesting case, involving questions
of national interest, was begun In the
superior court yesterday. 1t is a petition
in equity, filed by Chun Ching Hook. bet
ter known as Wah Chung, wealthy
Chinaman. who is guardian for his son.
Chun Lung Coe. for the purpose of having
testimony taken to perpetuate the evil
dence and proof of the place Of birth. the
parentage and citizenship of Chung Lung
Coe.
In his petition Chun Ching Hook states
that he married Mary Cary, an Indian,
and she is the mother of Chun Lung Coe.
who was born in Kitsap county May 20,
1873. On May %. 1891, Chun Ching Hook
began proceedings for the appointment as
guardian of Chun Lung Coe in the pro-
bate court. and in that capacity he brings
this action for the reason, he states, that
Chun Lung Coe wants to make his perma-
nent home in Seattle and have the power
and privilege of acquiring, owning, hold
ing and disposing of property and exercis-
ing all of the rights of citizen of
the United States; that only few
persons are acquainted with the
circumstances and place of his birth,
and as they are past middle
age and liable to die in the course of few
years, he wishes to preserve their evidence.
These witnesses are Henry L. Yesler, F..
NJ. Guy, George Harmon, G. l.. Manning
and s. 4. Coombs.
Chun Ching Hook says that he deems
this course necessary to protect the rights
of his son, Chun Lung Coe. who looks
like Chinese, and he wants the testimony
taken as early as possible. Judge Lich-
tenberg granted the petition and set June
II for hearing the testimony in the case.

CALIFORNIA IN BLOOM.
Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel l.. Crawford Re.
turn from Their visitThere

Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel l.. Crawford Re-
turn from Their visit,There.
Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel L. Crawford, of
this city, returned from pleasant Cali
fornia visit Saturday evening. They left
here during the latter part of April. and
celebrated the first anniversary of their
wedding at the residence of Mrs. Craw-
ford's parents, DR.. and Mrs. NJ. F. Claw
ton, in Sacramento, April so. Then Mr..
Crawford went to San Francisco on mat
tiers of private business, devoting
several days in that city. While
there he was mainly instru-
mental in inducing the presidential
party to decide to make the trip from
Tacoma to Seattle by boat, having been
wired to that end by Mayor Harry White.
During the presidents visit in San Fran
cisco, Mrs. Crawford joined her husband.
and she also performed a very good work
in prevailing upon the presidential party
TO give up their original idea of making
thetrip from Tacoma to Seattle by rail.
She wrote letter to lady friend eIabor-
ating upon the beauties and advantages of
boat ride on the Sound, and this lady
friend being a member of the reception
committee. occupied seat in the carriage
in which Manager Boyd rode in the pro-
cession. The result was as the sequel has
shown.
Mr.. and Mrs. Crawford were accom-
panied by Mrs. Crawford's mother. who
will visit in Seattle for a month or sir
weeks. They came up on the Walla Walla.
and experienced very heavy head winds.
On Saturday they witnessed the baseball
game at Victoria between the Victories
and Port Townsends. Mr.. Crawford saws
that Oakland and Alameda are paradises
of floral beauty now, and there is a pros
pect Of good crops in California. Never
theless dull times are complained of in
San Francisco. Seattle is much spoken
about and inquired after.
