of Kentucky to recapture one Archie, a
fugitive slave who had fed to this City; of
the determined fight of the colored people
to take him away from his former master,
during which heads were split and arms
broken; of his final rescue by the police
and his restoration to liberty by Judge
Pratt. This occurred in 1856. He then
explained the successful struggle to get the
children in the public schools.
He told of the struggles of his people to
obtain admission to the theaters and the
streetcars, and of the latter he said Mrs
Jane Turner recovered $4,000 for having
been elected from a car of the Omnibus
line. When she got through with the
lawyers she did not get much, and the
grave of this pioneer for colored peoples
rights is now unmarked. He said that a
colored man could not enter saloon with
out taking off his hat, and if he did not do
SO, twenty-five or thirty glasses or as many
pistol bullets would be sent at his head.
He said that at present there is want of
unity among the colored people, and
urged them to get money, as it is that
which commands respect. He told them
that if they want to succeed in the world,
they must work more in harmony. He
said that the objection had been raised
that the colored people have no flag, but
he said they had one, the American, the
most noble one the sun ever shone on. He
closed by reciting poem.
His lecture was received with marks of
approval.

they made against the police.
S. Ishikawa, the general secretary of the
japanese Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton, made the following statement yester
day:
Notwithstanding the fact that the police
officials are denying our charges published
in THE CALL, 1 do still maintain that we
were interfered with by the police. Not
only on one occasion. but several times
they showed their displeasure and un-
friendliness to our society.
II do not blame the Chief of Police II
may be that he did not know that we were
interfered with by the officers"
One of the officers of the society, T.
Okumo, stated: 81 used to distribute
tracts among the Japanese women. / was
repeatedly annoyed by the policeman on
the beat.

tell me not to come bothering around there
in the evening. This occurred between
July and Septern Der of last year. l had to
finally give up the attempt.
"a sergeant of the police called here this
afternoon, and told him what l told you.
He was very courteous and promised COM
plete assistance if we would again take up
the work there. He further stated that il
was very hard for the Chief OF Police to
know if every officer was doing as he told
him."
Chief of Police Crowley had this to say
"Ihe1r assertions are a pack of lies. An
American minister came to me about two
years ago and asked our aid in breaking
up the immoral Japanese houses He
complained that he could not get into the
houses. An officer was sent with him, but
the girls refused to listen or talk to him.
II have no faith in these Japanese. II
some of the American ministers will come
to me and ask for my aid in getting these
girls ont of the country, you NAV put me
down as saying that he may feel assured

City and State Boards. He does not see
that anything more can be done until
George A. Knight returns to the City,
when demand can be made for the Office.
The State pays the salary, but nothing
could be gained by mandamus served on
the Controller to prevent the allowance OF
salary to Mr.. knight.
Under the old statute, in contest for
office, neither party to the contest drew
the salary while the case was pending, but
Sam. Rainey and others had the law
changed when the Fire Commissioners
fight was on, so that the incumbent draws
the pay as long as he performs the duties
of the Office.
Herein it would seem that George Knight
has decided advantage over Denis Spen-
Ger. The attorney of the Board of Health
having no duties to perform which require
his presence in town, Mr.. Knight can pro-
long his fishing and hunting excursion to
any extent he prefers, and yet draw the
salary all the time that he is out of sight
of the languishing Spencer.

THE COLORED PIONEERS.
An Interesting Lecture Delivered by
William III. Carter on the Pio-
neers of His Race.

William H. Carter colored man, de-
livered an interesting lecture last night on
the colored pioneers and the past, present
and future of the colored race in California,
in Bethel African Methodist Episcopal
Church. The audience was not as large as
the lecturer deserved to have.
He prefaced his lecture by reading a long
list of names of those who were here in
the early days, and he asserted that Charles
Eppes, who is still living, and Sally Cox,
who has been dead for some time, were the
pioneers, having come here on the 18th of
July, 1849.
Among other pioneers he named James
Brown, George w. Dennis, D. w. Ruggles,
r. C. Francis, James E. Brown. who was
the first colored notary public; G. w. Cor
don, who was murdered in his place of
business, but whose murderer was found
guilty only of manslaughter because the
principal witness whose testimony would
have fixed the higher crime could not at
that time testify because he was colored :;
Ezra S. Johnson, who bought a lot on
Fourth street, near Bryant, for $4,000, which
after his death his widow sold for $500, 600 :;
Daniel Seals, who accumulated fortune
of $150,00 Peter Anderson of the Appeal,
P. A. Bell of the Elevator. ]. P Dyer and
Mary E. Peasants, "a woman loved by all
anu IedIel Dy many.
The lecturer, after exhibiting COPY of
the Mirror of the Times, the first organ
of the colored race in San Francisco, pub
lished for the first time September 49,,
1857 said that one of the pioneer colored
women was Mrs. E. ]. Seth, who kept a
millinery-store on Stockton street, "but."
he added, I'VE have no colored milliner
now." He then read over list of those
OF his color who came here long ago and
settled in the interior, and gave the names
OF the pioneer preachers, and among those
named was Bishop Ward, once pastor of
the Bethel Church, and of whom he said !:
The Bishop, who weighed 300 pounds,
bought cabin ticket in 1866 to go to Sac
ramento, but the purser, whose name was
Palmer, refused to honor it, telling him
that his place was not in the cabin but on
the deck, and if he did not go below he
would put him down. He told him to try
1t, but after consultation, during which
the Bishop was feeling for rail, they con-
cluded to let him remain in the cabin"
He spoke of buildings that had been oc-
cupied by the colored race, of businesses
they had started, of the several churches
and OF the military. companies. the first OF
which was the Moore Cadets, commanded
by Captain Smith; another was the Bran
nan Guard. Captain Alex Gennison,
attired in uniforms that cost $1,000 and
donated by Sam Brannan. He described
the visit of the colored people to Sacra-
mento in 1870 to take part in the celebra-
ton in honor of the emancipation OF the
slaves.
He told of the effort OF one Stonewall

Miss Lamont will live with her aunt

Mrs. Noble cannot yet talk of the tragedy
without emotion. "Oh, we know, that is
we feel certain, Theodore Durrant is
guilty" she said, ''and to think that !

nothing against him and didn't like her to

flowed at the thought.
Miss Lucille Turner, whose testimony at
the preliminary trial was so damaging to
Durrant, was spending the evening with
the family.

OF THE FOURTH,
Conference Between the Ex-
ecutive Committee and
Militia Officers.
Deficiency Caused by Arch
and Band Claims.

The question OF the payment of the
bands engaged for the military companie!
in the Fourth of July parade came up yes
terday between representatives of the mill
tia and the Fourth of July executive com
mittee.
Chairman Margo of the music committee
had engaged three bands and then in
formed the committee that they would de
mand payment.
Yesterdays meeting lacked nothing in
the way of vehement remarks to make
it interesting. AS one committeeman as
serted, the personnel of the board was sucn
as to make the apparent deficit very an
noying as against their well-known ability
and business prominence.
Aside from the music matter and q
claim from the contractor who erected the
arch, there is announced an actual surplus
of some $500.
Various remedies were proposed to wipe
out all claims, such as engaging the Pavil-
ION for grand entertainment 1t was
finally decided to appoint committee OF
five to make canvass OF the different
theaters to see what could be done in the
way OF grand matinee or evening per.
formance. The matter was placed in the
hands of Colonel Mcdonald, Colonel
Bush and General Dimond for the militia
and General Reichert and S. G. Hammond
for the executive committee. They are to
report at a meeting to be held at the Cali
fornia Hotel to-day.
In apportioning amounts for the differ
ent features $500 was set aside for the arch
on Market street. In addition to this,
1926 25 was collected by subscription, and
lumber to the amount of $1O0 was con-
tributed. About $40 was expended for
the electric illumination of the arch Con-
tractor Kemp presented vouchers for $3.50
in excess of these total amounts and
asked to be reimbursed for the outlay.
The statement is made by one of the
prominent officials, according to our con-
tracts and instructions to chairmen of sub
committees we will not owe one dollar
after our meeting tomorrow night. If we
grant the claims of the bands and Con-
tractor Kemp it will be by sufferance, and
will depend upon the result of our theater
proposition.
1--WE have taken hold of this matter with
will, and it is only by accident that these
claims have come up. 1t is such an un-
usual thing for these bands to require pay
ment that we think our present position is
excusable. Captain Margo understood our
instructions and should have abided by
them.p
The executive committee will hold an
other general meeting tonight at O'Clock
at their headquarters in the Mills building,
when the whole matter of the deficit will
be thoroughly ventilated.

HENRY OLARKS0N KILLED.
He Was Crushed while Attempting to
Stop a Runaway Team.

Henry Ciarkson, the only son of Prem
tiss Clarkson, Superintendent of the House
of Correction, met with an accident on
Tuesday afternoon which resulted fatally
yesterday morning.
Young Clarkson was employed as a
guard and had the care of number of
convicts who were at work on the roads.
About o'clock in the afternoon he started
for the stable with one of the sand wagons.
There is steep incline on the road down
to the barn and Clarkson had to hold q
pretty tight rein on the horses.
One of the reins broke under the pressure
and the wagon was hauled over close to an
embankment to the right of the road.
Clarkson made a Jump for the short line,
and losing his balance rolled under the
wagon. Two wheels passed over his
stomach, crushing the intestines.
Dr. Clinton was called and he told the
young mans father that the case was a
hopeless one. The injured man retained
consciousness almost to the last, and never
dreamed that his end was near. He was

POLITICAL PATRONAGE.
Contest for Places Under the Board OF
Health Knight and
Spencer.

1t was gossip among Democratic politi-
clans last evening that Ed Reddy of Mono
County, brother of ex-senator Patrick
Reddy, had been slated for the position of
Superintendent of the Almshouse. The
slated candidate once held the position OF
captain OF the guard at San Quentin when
his brother, Patrick Reddy, was State Sen
ator and chairman of the Prison Commit
tee. In the campaign last year ex-senator
Reddy supported Governor Budd.
There is redhot fight between two
Democrats-Selig and Dayis-for the posi-
ton of Market Inspector. Nearly all the
butchers of San Francisco have been
dragged into the contest to support one or

protests that neither will get the place.
