sit down! Sit DOWN. echoed Fitch's
felow-clerks. Then Fitch cried out some
thing about ''Murderer!" aud the words
echoed from every part of the hall. The
clerks were on their feet trying to make
speeches as though a public meeting was
being held, and Morgan Spencer of Bridge
port, Ala, Government clerk. called out
to Colonel Aiusworth:
"You should be arrested for murder and
not released on bail"
Here the tempest broke in full fury.
Hang him!' was shouted from dozen
throats and every man in the house rose at
the cry Hang him! Hang him!" and the
turmoil grew louder and lounder.
Colonel Ainsworth sat cool and collect
ed, but somebody said after the uproar
was over that his hand had moved to his
inside coat pocket and remained there.
His features seemed absolutely imm ova-
bic. Perry remained standing, but made
no attempt to Quell the mob. and Lieuten-
ant Amiss was utterly powerless to still
the tumult.
A mad rush had just begun in the di-
rection of Colonel Ainsworth, when War
ner rose and begged for order. and the
sight of him standing stopped the rush.
This outbreak of feeling must be sup
pressed" he said; mot by the strong
hand of the law, but by the hand of fra
ternity." The crowd fell into Warner S
way of thinking, and cried 'Yes. yes. F."
He saw his advantage and made an appeal
to let the question of allowing Colonel
Ainsworth to remain be settled by cool
heads. When he took his seat. however,
there were more threatening muTmuriugs,
and DR.. ShasffeT quickly adjourned the In
quest until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning,

tion.
The department clerks stood about the
hall talking excitedly over the incident,
while Colonel Ainsworth sat in MS chair
for minute and then walked out of the
building. He entered his carriage and
was quickly driven away, amid angry ex-
pressons from the crowd. When the hall
was emptied the excited language of the
clerks continued. and finally old Butler
Fitch mounted the entrance steps and pro-
posed an indignation meeting. Immedi-
ately Smith Thompson was elected chair
man OF the meeting and denunciatlons Of
Colonel Ainsworth and those who iusti-
fed his course were INDUCED in. A CON-
mittee was appointed to wait upon the
President and protest against the proposed
secret session at the police station and to
urge the suspension of Colonel Ainsw orth,
pending investigation.
Subsequently it was said that the IN
quest would be resumed tomorrow in the
same hall, but under better police ar
rangements. Judge Jere Wilson volun-
teered his services to represent the clerks
at the inquest tomorrow.
The court of Inquiry ordered by Secre-
tary Lamont TO investigate all the facts
connected with the disaster and to express
an opinion as to who was responsible met
this afternoon, but adjourned 10 meet al

that Colonel Ainsworth cannot appear
before the court until the inquest now
being conducted is concluded

O'Clock, Rev. Robert S. Smith,

preached from Proverbs 1873 !;
The lot is cast into the lap, but
the whole disposing thereof is of
the Lord" His sermon was q
faithful appeal to all present to
think well us to how they should
cast their lot rs to their present aud
future surroundings, as the future
depended upon the present and
that, as in Jonah S case, good would
he the result, and also as the God
Baal, the decision WAS to be that
whoseever answered by fire should
be their God. The sermon was an
earnest appeal to a careful consider.
alton and an earnest consulting Of
the Lord in all things pertaining to
the welfare of the church; it was an
earnest christian appeal to trust
only in the Lord and to follow tie
promptings of the Holy Spirit for
unless the Lord build the House
they labor in vain who build il.
After the sermon he gave his opin-
ion as to what they should do If
they wanted a church, namely To
do their best and show thereby that
they were willing to help themselves
and thereby secure help from the
surrounding eople, and now the
time to cast lots for the preferred
location for the new church had
come. Bro. III. Tucker denomina
ted the lotion Carlton avenue, near
Morgantown Street the motion
was seconded by sister Title and
Sister Lethridgc, after which several
shoit speeches were made favoring
the location, after which a vote
was taken, and the lot was cast in
favor of the place above named.
