 Another letter of similar character, but unsigned, was sent t Parson Brock ett's wife in the country. When Rev. Crockett came into possession of the letters he immediately hunted up the husbands of the two women accused of being his companions in sin and a conference with them resulted in the arrest of Gus Thomas on the charge of defamation.
 Gus says that the charges of inn morality mada against Rev. Crockett are undoubtedly true, but the prosecu- tion could not establish the fact that Gus had written the letters and he was released.
 Rev. MT. Crockett is a graduate of Andover college, Massachusetts, ard at che time Bishop Turner called hdm to work in the south was pastor of a con- gregaltion of 1,50O white members at Roxburyport, Mass, his family being the only negro members of the congrega- tionl
 He is a man of exceptional intelligence and was previous ito hls coming south employed on The Boston Transcript as a writer of signed editorials. He stated to an Age-Hera1d reporter last night that he was present when Henry CaIbot Lodge presented his famous Force Bill ito ,.he committee on judiciary for con sldea'ation and incurred the everlasting enmity of that republican, luminary by advis.ng the committee against submit ting 'the bill I.o congress; that he after ward traveled all over the south, re- porting the sentiment of the people of both races for the Boston Herald, and tha: it was due to his efforts that the bll was killed in the senate.
 When an Age-Herald reporter called at his home last night, he said that although it had not been proven to the satisfaction of the court, he was cer- tain that Gus Thomas wrote the letters, and that his action was the result of pique on account of not having received a reappointment as class leader at his hands. He also stated that the board of officers of the church, at meeting on last Tuesday, passed the following resolutions:
 and rumor concerning the pastor be pronounced untrue. This was amended by Geo. Evans as follows:
 but unsigned, was sent to Parson Brock be pronounced an infamous lie."
 The pastor stated that about five years ago, under the administration of Rev. G. w. Alexander, the church had borrowed 5000 of Steiner Bros, and that on March 15 last the debt became due. together with $120 interest; that the church had no money with which to pay it. but by borrowing $200 he had raised enough to pay $500 on the. debt. besides the interest. He said that since the debt was Incurred $17.ooo had been collected, $1,200s having been collected on one Sunday of last year, but that the officers of the church had only been

 and Quarrels of Members.

There is trouble brewing in St. Johns there has been considerable factfonal feeling existing anfong the members on account of a reorganization of the board of control, which was affected by the new pastor, Rev J. A. Crockett who was given charge of the pastorate last December
 This feeling came near eliminating in a fight in the doctors study when at a recent business meeting immedia tely af- ter services Gus Thompson. leader of the faction which is antagonistic to the good shepherd of the fold, called Ed Crawforj, leader of the opposition. liar and fool the less beglicose Edward over the head with the large iron seal of the church. by tha interference of the pastor and the immediate departure of Crawford.
 The fact of Thompson having been foil ed in his attempt to seal fIhe evidence of his brctherly love and impress his re- ligious ideas upon Edwards memory with the scaling iron has not tended to lessen the energy with which the tonsu S of both factions have baan 1adling cut criminations and rec1iminations, which have grown decidedly more spicy with each repetition, ard finaly resulted in washing of soiled linen in the police court yesterday morning which is told in another column
 The immediate cause of the aboy= ac- tion was the sending of two anonymous letters to the wife of Paraon Crockett, charging her spouse with highly repre- hensible conduct towards the wivss of two of the most prominent members of Darktown swelldom and who were also leading lights in the fold of St. John9. Rev. Crockett, in explanation of his conduct, stated that during the small pox scare he was vaccnaltsd; that the vaccination took" to such an extent that he was taken Ill and by advice of his physician went to Blount Springs, where he contracted a severe cold and had to return to Birmingham.

HARD TIMES AHEAD FOR IRELAND.
The Potato Crop Has Been Ruined by Blight and
 Famine Is Feared,

From the London Daily News.
 A grave calamity threa tens the Irish farming population during the coming winter. Toward the end of June and tho beginning of July there were gen. eral congratulations on The prospects of a splendid harvest. TIhe potatoes look edsexceedtngly we'll, there was an excel lent yield of hay, oats were luxuriant, and root crops generally gave promise of a splendid return. Today all the bright antfcipalionS of two months ago are rudeily dashed to earth, and instead of 'plelrity and prosperity, some hing ap- pl0aching a famine stares thousands i'm fthe 1rdsh farming and lalboring popula- ti0n in line face. For the past six weeks the weather dpas been of an unfavorable description, and the continuous drench- 1rg r'aim of the last eight or ten days has in numerous cases completed the ruin of the cnops.
 Reports from all parts of the coun- try tell the same woful tale. The hay ds in many cases rotting. The oat crop is beaten down into the earth, where the ear, tn not "a few cases, has begun to shoot again, and what was early cut Is badly tainted with mildew. But worse, most terrdble of n1l for the poorer classes

 to both races alike, and that there age no circumstances or conditions, nor can, in our opinion, amy be properly assign ed which would justify a. higher rate of tuition fees from the white children than from the colored children; or, to put it in another way, that the rates of tui- tion charged ccrored children should not be less than that charged the white. The laboring white man, in these days and timss finds it equally as difficult as the negro to obtain employment; in many instances the negro is preferred and it is more easy for him to obtain employ ment, and if tuition is to be charged at all, then the rates should be equal We open our doors to immigration and one of our chief attractions is our free pub lie schools but the beauty of this at- traction is lost to the white man when it is made known to him that dhe cannot educate his child as cheaply as the coG- ored man.
 We recommend that a mass meeting be called at our rendezvous on Monday evening, Sept 27, 1S97 at o'clock of all the white patrons of the pubic schools for the purpose of discussing this sub- ject and devising some means of placing our public schools on an equitable foot ing for the benefit of all the children of our city, without regard to their color or financial standing.

Not so with the rest of the crowd, for they have no excuses to make fer the beaten Cha mptons.

the dreaded blight is playing deadly hay oc with tIhe potato crop. When all else has failed the potato has been the main stay of life for the impoverished Irish tenant; should the crop generally give way ihe outlook would be grave in the extreme. Yet such a failure, unless there is. @ complete ard immediate change in the weather, may almost be regarded as a certainty.
 The boom in wheat Is not a matter for rejoicing tn Irelalld it only helps to give a deeper tinge of Garknsss to pict- ure that is already sufficiently black.
