1r IS s,nonp, from Washington,

IT is a1noun, / from Washington,
saws the Bellefou' Uatchman, that the
leading coIored Republican club OF that
city. which was established in 1898
for the purpose of furtherlng Mchln-
ley's election, opposes the suggestion OF
a colored man as member OF Mckln
ley's cabinet 1t proposes that the ne"
President should give numer of color
ed men a share of the loaves and fishes
r ,ther than to heap all the honor on
one by cabinet appointment.
Do these deluded darkies think they
have the slightest show for cabinet Of
tice, or for any official positions which
white Republicans may consider worth
occupying? Though they elect Repuo
lican presidents it Is foolish for them tC
expect any of the offices, except such a:
are of a menial character, and theil
chances for even such are slim 10 com

The colored brothers gave Mckinley
more than the popular majority tina
elected him The last census showed
that there were 200 90 negroes in tn,
country qualified to vote, and it is with
IN bounds to say that of this number a

ton, and as they are practically soli'
for Republican candidates, it is obviou
that the votes they cast for Mckinle.

than his popular majority, which ha
settled down to about 600, 900
The addition of the vast mass of ne
gro ignorance to the voting population
of the country is one of the crime
which the Republican party has com
mitted against the Republic. They ar
committing another by utilizing tn
semi barbarous hordes of Ddgos an
Huns as voting material, that ignoran
mass having been secured by purchas
and intimidation at the last election

groes in outvoting the intelligent art

the German VI. T.. Property.

Sunday the German Methodist Epis-
copal church at Adams avenue and
Vine street was reopened for divine
service. During the summer 1t was re-
decorated and renovated and Is now
one of the most inviting church build
ings in the city. The interior has been
re-decorated by Artists Baldwin and
Dahelstein, of Utica, n. Y, who per-
formed their work with an eye to truly
artistic effects. The color of the car
pets, cushions, etc, is in harmony with
the general scheme of decoration.
They were furnished by Siebecker 4
Watkins.
A new slate roof has been placed on
the church and the grounds about the
building have been improved by an
iron fence, the relaying of the walks
and resoding of the lawn. The i'm
provements are due largely to the en-
ergy of the pastor. the total cost of
which were about 81 500.

ARRESTED FOR BIGAMY.
Mrs. William Westpfahl Charged by
Her Husband with Having Been
Married Before.

Constable William Black. of the Thir-
teenth ward, with a white horse drove
up to a house on New York street,
Green Ridge, yesterday afternoon as
the sun was disappearing behind the
hills, and woman named Mrs. Con-
roy was standing at the door.
In the name of the law" said Black.
does William Mclaughlin live here?"
He don't" said she; ''who Is he?"
But her answer was made in such a
suspicious tone that the functionary of
the law got out Of his carriage and
proceeded inside to find out if she was
telling the truth OF not. Mclaughlin
was found under the bed in his room,
and in another part of the house Mrs.
William Westpfahl was discovered.
Black had warrants for both of them
and he took them before Alderman c.
c. Donovan, of the Twelfth ward.
The woman's husband. or more cor
rcctly speaking. one of her husbands.
was the prosecutor. He is Westpfahl
and lives in Dutch Hollow, in the
Nineteenth ward. He says he was
married to her about year ago, and
she said then her name was Elizabeth
Early. On August IL she deserted him
and took $40 of his hard earned cash.
\ few days ago he heard she was
housed with Mclaughlin. In hunting
through her trunk he found marriage
certificate showing she was led to the
altar at Hazleton on Dec. 80, 1877, by
John Acl1ter. of that place.
Correspondence with Achter devel-
oped the fact that she was bound by
ties to Achter, having no divorce from
nm, when she married Westpfahl.
The two defendants were held for q
hearing at o'clock tomorrow evening,
and as they could not furnish bail. they
went up to the county Jail. Achter will
come ON from HaZeton to testify
against her. Mclaughlin Is held on
the charge of unlawful relations.

FIRE IN A PLANNING MILL.
Timely Discovery Prevents What
Might Have Been n Costly Blaze.

Last nights fire, which occasioned an
alarm from box "a at 1890 o'clock, was
in the Peck Lumber company's plan
ing mill. on East Market street.
The mill was working late last night
and 1t is supposed that u spark from
an emery wheel dropped through a
crack i'm the floor and set fire to the
shavings beneath. 1t smoldered until
after the men had left and soon after
broke out in blaze. Luckily it was
discovered before much headway was
gained and was eXtinguished with the
chemical eXtinguishers carried by the
Liberty Hose company. The damage
was slight.
