cord as to prevent a noise when the hook
fell in It, while the gimlet was used to bore

The Mutiny in the Cameroons.

BERLIN, Jan. 3.-The colonial office states
that the recent mutiny in the Cameroons
was entirely due to the improper absence of
the German gunboat Hyaiene, which had

of her officers and crew. The leaders Of the
mutiny were Dahomeyans who had formerly
been slaves and who were serving the Ger
mans in return for the price paid for their

A QUESTION OF JURIsDIcTIoN.-A
negro named William Gallery, who
owed a lodging bill to Rebecca Quill,
colored, last night told herif her daugh
ter Nettie would accompany him to the
riverside where sand scow on which
he was employed was stationed he
would pay the bill. When he and the
girl reached the spot he made an as
sault on her and picking up brick in
each hand told her if she didn't get out
of the neighborhood he would kill her
and throw her body overheard. She
left and procured warrant for his ar
rest. Officers Smith and Beach went
after Gallery and found him on the
sand scow, and when he was told the
nature of their business he said he did
not care for their warrant, as he was
outside of-their jurisdiction. The off.
GERS made no further reply but conduct
ed him to the station house. This
morning, when brought before Mayor
Strauss, he did not deny-the assault,
but again insisted that the authorities
had no Jurisdiction in the case. The
Mayor thought they had and fined him
81, and if he fails to pay that sum he
will 60 on the chain gang.

ton house, after which the officers
went after the three who had interfer.
red with them. They were found aud
locked up. This morning Mayor
Strauss fined Williams so, and Scott,
Thornton and Lindsey $40 each. The
latter was not satisfied with the judg-
ment and said he knew he had no
show in the court and was fined SO ad-
di,ional for contempt. While the row
was going on in the hall negro from
the Driving Park had a crowd around
him in the street where some disorder
was in progress. Officers Smith and
Beach approached and found Williams
with murderous-looking knife and
put him under arrest. He was fined
81. While Officer Webster was looking
for one of the parties who had assault
ed him in the hall negro named Israel
Cheeks began to abuse him and was
arrested. He was made to pay $3.50.
The policemen who made the arrests in
the hall had thrilling experiences, and
were compelled to keep their pistols
drawn in order to protect themselves
from the fury of the negroes. 1t is be-
lieved the majority of the male partici-
pants in the bail had pistols and razors.

Second Presbyterian Church held it's
regular monthly meeting in the
lecture room of the church on
Thursday night which was large
ly attended and its proceedings
were of an interesting character.
The newly elected president, K. KEN

for the coming year, rendered his resig-
nation, stating that whilst he highly
appreciated the honor aud the good
will evinced by the members in placing
him in that position, he believed it
would be better to have one of the
young men at the head of the society F;
be promised, however, to continue to
do all in his power 70 aid in the
society's work. Dir. Kemper's resig-
nation was accepted and the thanks
of the Union were unanimously
given to him for the great interest
he had always shown in its af-
fairs. After the transaction of the
usual routine business the Union was
most charmingly entertained with in.
