Philadelphia, Pa, July 31.-At the
WayfarerS lodge, Lombard street home
sick and destitute are three negroes of
Arkansas who have returned from Ii
IBERIA whittier they went as colonists
some months ago. OF nearly 100 COM
panionS some are said to have died of
starvation and others are eking out a
wretched existence in Africa.
The three men are farmers of Jeffer-
son county, Arkansas. They say the
International Emigration society of
Birmingham, Ala, offered twenty-five
acres of land to every colonist and used
as endorsement the name Of Bishop Fl.
NJ. Turner of Atlanta. Ga.
The subscribers were required to pay
$401 in advance by installments and
their passage to Savannah. In return
they were to be given their passage, food
and the land Oh arrival.
The ship sailed on March for Monrovia
with ninty-seven colonists who were
in the care of the society's secretary.
The men declare that they were simply
dumped ashore and allowed to shift for
themselves. A score of their COM
rades died of climate fever and some,
1t was reported, persisted by starva-
ton. Work could not be secured and
the flesh of dead animals and snakes
was seized upon with avidity for food.
Shelton and his two neighbors saw no
hope for them in the colony and sue
ceeded in obtaining passage to Liver
pool and thence to Philadelphia. They
expect help from Arkansas which will
enable them to return to their homes.
