THE MEETING A FIZZLE.

But Few Colored Representatives At
tended tho Reorganization OF Avery
College Last Night-The Object Was to
Formulate Plans to Utilize $4,000.
A meeting Of the colored citizens of
Pittsburg and Allegheny was held in the
Avery Church, on Avery street, Allegheny.
last night. The object of the call was to
take action in regard to the utilization OF
the $50, 900 fund left by Rev. Charles Avery
to the colorcd people of the two cities for
the education of their race and establish
ment of an educational institution. This
bequest was made number of years ago,
but has lain dormant and the interest has
accumulated.
Rev. J. A. Boyden presided He stated
the reason of the call After some discus
sion as to what disposition should be made
of the fund, whether there should be col
lege, an industrial or a mechanical school,
Rev. DR.. Low made q motion that the old
Avery College be again put in operation.
In offering this resolution he made a
lengthy address about the condition of the
colored race, and the relations between
them and the white people. He then
moved, as the general sentiment Of those
present was against the taking of positive
action while such slim representation was
had, that action be postponed until May 2.
The motion carried.
