NEW YORK NOTES.

The Afro-American League held
a call meeting at Zion church oD
Thursday the 20th, for the purpose
of protesting against discrimination
against AtrO-AmericanS in public
conveyances and also for the laud-
able purpose of petitiOning the
national and municipal depart
mentS here and at Washington for
the employment of colOred men
and women in their respective
departments. Langston, Fortune,
Prof. n. G. Gandison, of Bennett
College, \. c., and Rev. Alexander
Walters delivered addresses. The
church was filled with ladies and
gentlemen and the speakers were
all we'll received. Not one of them
paid much heed to the stated OBJ
ject of the call and when the pre-
pared resolutions were offered it
was at once apparent that the sud
den lively interest of the leaders of
the meeting was to secure the in
dOrsement of New York citizens for
Hon. J. M. Langston for AppetIl-
ate Judge and T. Thomas Fortune
for Minister to HaytI. The Afro
American League is said to be a
non partisan organization. the ac.
tion of the league therefore, was in
direct opposition to this idea and
when Prof. Grandson in the course
of his remarks talked according to
the printed platform and cOnstitu,
tuition of the League, some of the
managers of the little affair were
not only surprised but incursed
Hon. John NJ. LaDgstOn undertook
to make vehement protest against
some of the things the Prof. utter
ed, but it was hopeless task and
beyond amusing the audience by
display of OratOry and the recital
of some hard facts, not on the bill,
did but little towards the real
object of the meeting. The house
was composed of fair intelligent
people and when a resolution was
offered thanking Judge LangStOn
for his able address, they insisted
on the adoption of a rider in the
shape of all amendment offered by
Mr.. r. f. Mcintyre also thanking
Prof. n. Grandson for his equal
ly able argument.
Rev. w. B. Derrick, T. McStew
art, JOHN A. Lynch, and other
speakers adverted on the posters
failing to attend. Grandson being
the only man with true AfrO-Amer
lean League ideas, and no axe to
grind, the League needs him and
our people need leaders with his
ideas.
T. McCantts Stewart has been
reappointed member Of the Brook
lyn Board of Education, for the full
term by Mayor Chaplin.
Richard Greener who was drOpp-
ed from his 5000 mouth position
as Secretary of the Grant Noun
ment Fund, has been reappointed
by the votes of the Democratic
members Of that committee, but
the leading Republican paper, the
Mail and Express says that the
payment Of his salary Is a useless
expense and that Bro. Greener will
have to 60.

THE CAMP GROUND.

The camp ground that has been
selected is beautiful spot adjoin-
ing the pleasure ground at Col
Iingwood Beach, Va, with a
gradual rise from the river bank
back to a thickly wooded hill.
The drainage is perfect and the
surface 50 compactly composed of
gravel, sand and turf that mud is
impossible. however harl a rain
may fall, the ground draining as
soon as the rain ceases. Passing
over the crest of the hill wide
level cleared plain is spread out,
with just enough of bush, hollow
and trees to give splendid oppor.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIspArcH. J

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.l
BOSTON, June ga lively cock fight
was in progress under the shadow of
Faneuil Hall at o'clock this morning
when a posse of police broke in the doors
and jumped through the skylight. About
35 sports were found cooped up like rats in
cage. Some of them jumped from the
second-story windows, but were gobbled as
fast as they londed. There were others
luckier The room, which is large one,
running the entire length of the building,
has back stairway, as we'll as several
windows, and by these exits fully a
dozen men escaped. One man jumped
out of a window, and, catching hold of the
telegraph wires, slid down a pole and then
Jumped into the backyard of Frost's saloon.
Another man did similar act and escaped
by means of Quennell's restaurant.
Some of the men in the room also climbed
to the roof, but they were unable to escape
and were among those arrested, numbering
q in all 1t was an exciting scene for few
minutes. The only resistance was made by
one of the game cocks. He flew savagely
at the policeman who sought to separate
them and nipped piece of his hand. The
funniest par of the whole business was the
resumption of the battle at the police sta
ton. The cocks were a cross between
leghorn and pheasant. They were in full
fighting array, necks plucked, combs and
tail feathers clipped and steel spurs, nearly
two inches long and sharp as needles,
fastened to their legs.
They were carried to the police station in
that condition and looked so badly used up
that no one thought they had any fight left
The birds were placed in the same box in
the center of the guard room, and while
Captain Heminway was calling the roll of
the prisoners, the birds started in for the
second round. Good old Deacon Heminway
was greatly shocked, but he didn't know
how to separate the ,belligerent birds and
nobody in the crowd felt disposed to help
him out. At last the worthy Captain be-
thought himself of ice water and he gave
them several shower baths before they sur
rendered. Twenty more game cocks in as
many boxes witnessed this impromptu set-to
with undisguised envy, and there was a
chorus of shrill cock crows when the battle
was ended.
The q prisoners were Immediately ar
raigned in court, and pleading nolo con-
tendere, were each fined S. The main
which was thus interrupted has been on the
docket for some time, but until last night it
was impossible to get the birds to the rem
devious unobserved by the police. The
spectators were chiefly marketmen and local
politicians.

WILL GO In A BODY.
Rev. o. b. Milligan's Congregation Decides
to Join the United Presbyterians-The
Church Leased From the Corporation
by the Members-Mr. Milligan Absent.

Rev. o. b. Mi1ligan's Congregation Decides
to Join the United Presbyterians-The
Church Leased From the Corporation
by the Members-Mr. Milligan Absent.
The congregation of Rev. o. B. Milligan' s
church, on Highland avenue, at a meeting
last night decided to formally withdraw
from the Reformed Presbyterian Church
and unite with the United Presbyterians.
There was not absolute unanimity among
those present about Withdrawing, since
there were five or six dissenters in the 65 or
20 members present, but the latter were so
friendly with the majority at the close of
the meeting as to warrant the statement
that the congregation had agreed to the
step. AS member remarked, they hoped
to win the minority over to their views in
time. There are about ITO members in the
congregation.
1t was arranged that the congregation
should continue to use the church until the
members had passed into the United Pres
byterian church. With this end a lease of
the church was obtained from the corpora
tion. When the change has been effected
the congregation proposes that it shall like
wise include the church, and that that
temple of worship shall, in the future, be
used by them as members of the United
Presbyterian belief 1t is around this there
is probability of some animated discus
sion-a portion of which may take place in
the courts-following as consequence.
The congregation takes the view that
what is theirs is their own, and not the
property of the corporate body, while the
latter holds that the congregation has in
terest in the church property only as long
as it continues in the denomination of the
church.
The result of the matter so far is that Rev.
Mr.. Milligan will continue to preach to his
congregation in his church until arrange
ments with the q. P. body have been made.
Should an attempt be. then made to use
the church for U. P. services, it is said
that the Reformed Presbyterian corporation
will interfere by process of law. But the
unanimity among the congregation is so
thorough, or is deemed as likely to become
so, that no fears are entertained by its MEM
bers of the corporation being able to prevent
them changing their charter.
Rev. Mr. Milligan was out of town during
the meeting, and his views could not be OBJ
tanned

RAPID TRANSIT DRAWBACKS.

East End Merchants Think There Is Such
Thing as Nuisance About Cable
Cars-Suits Brought Against Two Local
Traction Companies.
Suits in equity were entered Yesterday
against the Pittsburg and the Citizens Trac-
tion lines. In the former the plaintiffs are
William Mcfarland, 7. B. Moreland Jr..
John Dcnholm, w. J. McMaster, H. p,
kuhn, c. C.. Castner, A. II. Wilson, r. M.
Sterrett and w. P. Moreland. They state
they are owners and occupiers of houses
and buildings on Penn avenue in the Nine
teenth and Twentieth wards, the principal
business street of the East End; that ingress
and regress to their property is over and
across Penn avenue. The defendant COM
psny occupies the street with single track
on Shady lane, to its station or loop rear
Highland avenue, and that the street is also
occupied by double track of the Citizens
Traction Company, making three parallel
lines on Penn avenue and leaving but a
narrow space on either side.
The plaintiffs alIege that the def endants,
contrary to duty, blockade the street with
continuous lines of cars, and leave them
standing while other cars are held until
such time as they are dispatched from the
station; that the cable is allowed to run
through the grip, thereby making a loud,
harsh, deatenlng noise that is an ANNOYANCE,
causing lrreparable loss and damage to the
plaintiffs. They allege they are daily
losing their customers and business by this
blockading and the noise, which is declared
TO be a nuisance. They ask that a decree
be made prohibiting the blockading of the
street and obstructing the avenues, and that

Frankstown and Penn avenue, and claim
to be annoyed and damaged in the same

tion against continuance of the alleged
