Parkhurst was convincing in any ar

call ON Daisy, and when the two men
stood or the steps of Sanders home
Tom was quite prepared to try to play
the part which he had taken upon him
self in his effort to evade the tax ON
bachelors. But when he entered the
room his courage nearly failed him. He
would have left the house at once could
he have done so without observation.

CHAPTER III.

The conversation was interrupted by
that young lady, who came forward to
meet them, with both hands extended
and her gown trailing behind her in a
way that disgusted Tom beyond meas
ure. He had read of women who wore
trailing gowns, but it had never been
his misfortune to see one until now. To
his fastidious mind it seemed shock
ingly untidy, and an untidy woman
was, in his opinion, the most pitiable
spectacle imaginable.

very clear. Tom was quite sure that

Ways aud Means shaped Out at Meotin
OF the Corporation

Ways and Means shaped Out mt n Meeting
OF the Corporation.
A meeting OF the corporation known
as tho Sarah Ann White Home for
Aged and Infirm Colored Persons was
held Thursday in accordance with the
charter of the corporation. The true
story OF the origin of this institution
has not yet boon given to the public;
1t should not be conflicted with an in
stitution known as the Sarah White
Home that had an opening Thursday.
There was one Sarah Ann White, an
aged and respectable woman of this
city, who, by strict industry and ocon
Somy accumulated enough money to
maintain herself and TO leave several
thousand dollars worth of real estate
at her death. Before her death, which
occurred February 26th, 1856, she be-
queathed in her last will all of her real
estate to the founding of an old folks
home, which was to he designated
1.-THE Sarah Ann White Home"
Tho Rev. Edward Chippey, who was
made the sole executor, found the
property much involved. Besides the
debts which had been incurred in her
last illness the property was heavily
mortgaged. Through good business
management the debts have been liqui.
dated. The property consists of sew
oral houses on the east side of French
street. between Eighth and Ninth
streets.
Having proceeded so far in the
STRENGTHENING out of tho estate, and
when he was ready TO begin formulating
plans to establish the home, Mr.. Chip.
pey was forced to meet some litigation
which involved the whole property,
and extended for more than two years,
but the outcome was in favor of the
will.
Once more the way seemed clear and
the estate was settled. Thereupon MIR.
Chippey called public meeting of the
colored citizens of the city, and, through
his attorney, j. Ernest Smith, full
statement was made concerning the
purpose of the will aud the work
accomplished by the executor, who de-
sired that the citizens take proper
! steps to secure a charter and effect au
organization of the home.
The following committee was APP.
pointed TO name seven incdrporators I:
The Revs. g. l.. Jefferson, J. f.
Sargent, b. I. Moore and W. II. Guy,
and Messrs. W. j. Miller W. e. Grin
mage and Jonathan Chippey On May
I'd, of the present year, the charter was
granted by Judge Grubb. The in
corporators named therein are the Rev.
Edward II. Chippey, William j.
Miller, Jonathan Chippey, William t.
Grinnase, Edwina b. Kruse, Maggie
N. Elias and Marietta Smith.
Thus has the project finally been
brought into fair way to SUCCESS
much to the qualification of those who
have had the matter ut heart.
At the meeting Of the incorporators

tempting 10 carry out his threat at the
time. lie alleges that Green and sew
cral Others were following him and that
he shot IN self-dcfcrCe.
Another story is to tho effect that
Ross was jealous Of Green because tho
latter had but short timo before, in
the saloon of A. x. Gillespie, at Tay
lor and Church streets spoken to Lydia
blackburn, who was with Ross, Ac-
cording 10 man who was in the saloon
just previous 10 the shooting, Green
first left the place and he was followed
in short time by Ross. The next
heard Of them was when Ross shot
Green on Kirkwood street, The bullet
struck Green in the groin. Ross fred
again, but instead Of the second ball
striking Grecn, it struck Harrison
Perkine, . years old lad, who was
standing across the street.
Officers Aiken aud Floyd wern soon
upon the scene and Ross was taken into
custody with little difficulty.
