AN oBsTREPpRoUs BROTHER,
Who Proves Discordant Element
Among His Colored Brethren.

The congregation Of the Central Bap-
tist church want Samuel Sims, a color
ed gentleman, suppressed ,and in order
to do so have applied to the district at
torney's Office. Robert Bowlden is the
chief complainant, and if his story is
correct he has some cause for his charge
that Brother Sims disturbed his peace
very seriously
1t is claimed that Sims wants to boss"
the church, and have things run to suit
him. and whenever he has failed in at =
tanning his end he has inevitably raise j
ruction, the dismemberment of the
church being threatened by these un-
seemly proceedings The particular oc-
currence which has served to bring the
matter within purview of the legal au :.
thorities took place last Wednesday
evening at business meeting of the
church officers. Upon that occasion
Bowlden was reading from the Bible
anent the duties of deacons when Sing
interjected the remark that Bowldey
couldn't read anyway, and that he
shouldn't read unless he read what h.
wanted him to.
The moderator told Sims to sit down
but that geetleman defied his superior
much to the officials chagrin and the
evaporation of his brethren. Sims
would not be subdued, and as he could
not stop Bowlden's reading he Jumped
Tor him and jerked the Bible out of his
hand' tearing the backs from off the
book. This broke up the meeting. ar.I
the church officers called upon the dis
trict attorney because they expect fur
ther onslaught on the part of the pugna-
cious Sims when the next meeting takes

ANOTHER COLLISION.
An Accident on the Pasadena Electric
Line Yesterday

A collision on the Pasadena and Los
Angeles electric line occurred Just the
other side of the South Pasadena via
duct about 10:S0 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. The two cars were battered up
somewhat, but no one was hurt.
Car No. 81, on the way to Pasadena,
was just clearing the viaduct. when No.
94 from Pasadena, came in sight. A
single track crosses the viaduct and
divides on the other side. AS soon as
the motorman on No "a saw the dam
gerous proximity of the two cars he re-
versed the power, and the wheels began
to spin around in the opposite direction
But it was too late to STOP and a mo-
ment later the sides of the two cars
came together with crash, smashing
several windows ard battering up the
cars considerably. Both cars backed off
and returned to the power house at Pos
adena.
During the work of getting the cars
started back to Pasadena the switch
this side of the viaduct was left open
and the next train to this city ran into
it and off the track, but no damage fur
ther than a short delay was occasioned

MEDICAL WISDOM
The Dreaded Consumption
Can Be Cured
7. A. Slocum, M. D., the Great Chemist and
Scientist, Offers to end Free, to the
Afflicted, Three Bottles Of Ills Newly Dis.
covered Remedies to Cure Consumption
and All Lung Troubles

Nothing could be fairer, more philan-
thropic or carry more JOY in its wake
than the offer of T. A. Slocum, NJ. c., OF
1873 Pearl street, New York City.
Confident that he has discovered an
absolute cure for consumption and all
pulmonary complaints, and to make its
great merits known, he will send free
three bottles to any reader of The Her
aid who is suffering from chest. bron-
chial, throat and lung troubles or con-
sumption.
Already this new scientific course of
medicine" has permanently cured thou
sands of apparently hopeless cases.
The doctor considers it his religious
duty-a duty which he owes to human
ityr-to donate his infallible cure.
Offered freely, apart from its inherent
strength, is enough to commend it, and
more so is the perfect confidence of the
great chemist making the proposition.
He has proved consumption to be a
durable disease beyond any doubt.
There will be no mistake in sending
the mistake will be in overlooking the
generous invitation. He has on file in
his American and European laboratories
testimonials of experience from those
cured in all parts of the world.
Delays are dangerous. Address T. A.
Slocum, NJ. c., 1873 Pearl street, New
York, and when writing the Doctor,
please give express and postoffice ad-
dress, and. mention reading this article
in The Herald.

j. Weber. He was held in $500 bonds.
About a year ago Behrendt was ar

mer very effectively upon the head of a
collector who called for settlement of
an account. For some reason or other
the charge was dismissed, and whether
the collectors head was bound up with
