Instinct.

New Bedford is true city of the
sea. Everywhere within it limits the
nautical instinct, instilled by years of
contact with sailors and whaling
crews, is apparent. Every citizen is
himself full-rigged ship, and the
way he steers himself about the city
would tickle the heart of a veritable
sea-dog. He goes NORTH" he goes
south" he goes "east," he goes
"west, "-in fact, all his movements
are made by a compass. Let a
stranger inquire for certain house
and he will receive the minute di-
rections. 1.-Two houses east of the
southeast corner of -- street,

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
About a Party Wall.

A rather curious condition Of affairs was
brought to- the attention of the Commits
sioners teddy ln connection with the build
ing of the new fire engine house at Mount
Pleasant 1t seems that when the building
was in course Of erection Building Inspec-
tor Brady found that the District would be
entitled to $12650 for the use Of the south
wall as party wall by Peter Fersing, who
was putting up house on that side. After
consultation with the auditor Of the treas
TRY il was decided that this sum might be
used in the erection of a fence in the rear,
instead of being turned into the treasury
as an unexpended balance.
Before the engine house wall was up.
there vas a six weeks delay, owing to the
nor-arrival of some iron beams, and Fer
sjrg went on with his building, sending in
q. bill of s56 to J. w. Dunn, the contractor
for the engine house. for so much of his
wall as was used. When the engine house
was completed. it is said. he refused to pay
the s1265 so, and the building inspector was
compelled to pay for the fence out of an
other fund at his disposal The Commits
sioners decided that there was no reason
to hold Dunn responsible for the amount.
and that the only thing to do is to refer
the matter to the attorney for the District

Mr.. BLAND SPEAKS AGAIN

LIVE OAK. Fla. July prev D. w.
Gillislee reports a reign of terror among the
negroes Of Lafayette and Taylor counties.
He says their churches are being raided by
white men. congregations dispersed and
pastors driven away. Rev. Giliislee is pre-
siding elder of Live Oak district of the
Florida conference of the a. NJ. E. Church.
The counties mentioned are in this district,
ard he recently returned from an attempt
te all his appointments.
According 10 his story, he was roughly
treated. He says he was preaching in La
feyette county to large congregation,
when crowd OF armed white men came
Into the church and stationed themselves
rear the pulpit. The leader asked Gillislee:
How long do You expect to remain in this
Then the whites began to shoot and GIL
Hslee and the congregation ran out In a
panic. Gillislee went to Bramford, ten
miles distant. in Suwanee county. He made
the trip in an hour. He next went to Tay-
Tor county, which ad3oins Lafayette on the
west, but was again driven out. While
preaching at night, he says, about twenty
white men came in and stationed them
selves about the pulpit. Gillislee was great
ly frightened. but kept On preaching. Fin
ally the mob shot the lights out. Giilislee
and the negroes ran out many being tram
pied on. The mob 80 far appear to have
shot no one, their object seeming to be to
create terror.
Gillislee says the negroes are frightened
nearly to death, AMI are leaving rapidly
many deserving their property. The preach
er seems unnerved by his experience. and
VIII never go to Lafayette or Taylor again.
His headquarters are iii Jacksonville AMI
he has a good reputation. Lafayette and
Taylor are the counties where SO many ne
groes have been lynched for outraging
white women. In Lafayette there have
been over dozen iynchings in the last few
months. and there is TO question that the
reported assaults on women have greatly
emb!ttered the whites against the negroes

cHINAMEN IN COURT
Consequently There Will Be Little Washing
Done by Them Tomorrow.
A. Crowd Expected Mt the Hearing of
the Charges of Conspiracy
and Threats.

There will be very little work done in the
Chinese laundries tomorrow morning. as
the cases involving charges of conspiracy
and threats against members Of he Sam
Lee Company are to be called in the Police
Court. Members of the Hop Chung Lung
Company. and 1t is said that there are
more than three hundred Of them. will, in
all probability. be out In full force. AS
heretofore published in The Star. the men,
bers Of the Sam Lee Company, doing
cut-rate business. claim that they are being
prosecuted by the wealthy Hop Chung
Lung organization. and the prosecuting at
torney. 1t is said. seems to think that there
is very little in the cases.
Moy All Sing, Lum Kee Sing, Sue Cow
and others of the Sam Lee Company claim
that the more powerful organization Is
endeavoring to force them out of the city.
and they do not intend to go. They Will
go to Jail. they say, rather than be forced
to leave the city. There seems to be one
possible exception, and this Chinaman Is
Sue Cow. who Is only an ordinary laborer
who irons clothes. He has been called to
Far Rockaway on Long Island. where the
have gone Saturday, but was prevented
from doing so because of his arrest.
Charlie Bling, one of the Sam Lee Com
pany, who bought another laundry last
week, claims that one of his cut-rate signs
was torn down Saturday night by the
keeper Of a rival establishment.
Prosecuting Attorney Mullowny investi-
gated the charges brought against the four
members Of the Sam Lee Company this
morning. and, much to his surprise, only
two witnesses were produced in each case.
In these cases 1t is claimed that the de-
PENDANTS got $40 from the compliments,
and that they have been collecting s. a
week, under the pretense that 1t was for
the support of a tea club. 1t is possible
that after Mr.. Mullowny has heard all the
evidence he will nolle pros. the charges.
and that there may be no trial tomorrow,
although he may prefer to have the court
settle the matter. When these cases are
over there may be some surprises for the
members of the Hop Chung Lung Society.
for it is said that the Sam Lee Cinnamon
intend to swear out more than two hundred
waWantS for conspiracy.

ESCORTED TO PRISON.
The Three Pollard Iurdercrs Taken
to Richmond.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
RICHMOND, Va, July 22.-Renewed in
terest has been aroused here in the murder
case of Mrs. Jane Pollard in Lunenburg
with the return of the military from that
place last night Besides Solomon MarabIe,
Pokey Barnes and Mary Alternately, SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for ten years for
the same crime. they also brought the hus-
band of the latter. The prisoners We're
brought here to prevent the Lunenburg
citizens from doing vengeance on them. AS
the troops were leaving. the negro Braxton
came to Capt. Cunningham and asked to be
taken into custody and brought to Rich
mond. Though he vas not connected with
the crime he feared for his life, and Capt.
Cunningham, as matter Of mercy, took
him in charge. It is understood that the
ranking officers who were at Lunenburg
during the trial, are satisfied that the negro
women convicted and sentenced in this
case are innocent of the crime 1t is also
believed that a white man, who has not
been secured by the authorities Is impli-
Gated In the brutal murder, and later SEN
sations are probable. The military officers
are reticent since their return.

14s ITALIANS DROWNED.
Steamers Collide at Night In the Metli-
terraneun.

An accident resulting in the loss of 14S
lives occurl ed near the mouth of the Gulf
of Srezzia yesterday. The steamers Ortigia
and Maria P. ran into each other, and the
Maria P. was damaged so badly that she
sank in a very short time. The Maria P.
had. on board. III addition to her crew, 176
passengers bound from Naples for the
River Plate Most of them were emigrants.
1t was pitch dark when the collision oc-
Cured and there was a terrible scene
aboard the sinking steamer. Most of the
passengers were asleep in their hunks at
the time, and were awakened by the crash
ing of the steamers plates, deck beams.
and deck planks. They rushed on deck and
ran hither and thither, alternately calling
for boats and praying aloud to the saints.
But one boat got away.
The force Of the collision was terrific
The Ortigia struck the Maria P. squareiy
on the starboard side, and her stem pene-
trated eighteen feet. No mention Is made
Of the Ortigia's lowering boats to attempt
to rescue the imperiled people on the
Maria p. Whether the former vessel was
damaged or not is unknown.
