BOUGHT A PREACHER.
Remarkable Story of Fugitive
Slaves Secret.

At a recent meeting of the Connecti-
cut Historical Society, John Hooker, of
Hartford, related this personal experi-
ence, showing now he became a D. d.
by the purchase of a colored clergy
man, who held that title and who could
not hold such a title as slave.
For several years before the passage
of the fugitive slave law Rev James
w. C. Pennington. fullblooded negro.
was the pastor of a Congregational
church of the colored people at Hart
ford. He was a faithful pastor. and
very much respected by the clergy of
the city, as well as by the people gem
orally No one knew or suspected that
he was fugitive slave. But a short
time before the passage of the act he
came to me for a most confidential
consultation and advice. He told me
that ne was a fugitive slave, and that
he had never diyulged the fact to any
of his people in Hartford, nor even to
his wife. He disclosed the fact to me.
that | might attempt to negotiate with
his master for the purchase of his free
DOM
He was born the slave of Frisbie
Tilghman of Hagerstown, Md, and re-
manned his slave until he ran away,
when he was IS years old; he was now
about 40. The name which he now
bore was an assumed one; his name as
slave was Jim Pembroke" After
his escape he found protection and as
sistance in a Quaker family in Penn
sylvania, whose kindness he had ever
since remembered with the greatest
gratitude. He had already in a
stealthy way. learned to read a little,
but here he began those studies which,
ever since pursued with unremitting
ardor and industry, had made him a
man of intelligence and something of
scholar. After a while he entered the
Christian ministry, and was licensed
and ordained as minister, and, as
have represented, was now settled over
a congregational church of colored
people at Hartford.
That he could preach quite accept
ably knew. as 1 had often heard him,
and at one time the Rev. Dr. Porter of
Pennington, had exchanged with him,
and the people of the quiet old town
had been astonished. some of them
shocked, by seeing one of the blacklist
of men in their pulpit. After two or
three consultations it was decided that
1t was best for him to go to Canada
and remain while the negotiation was
pending. After he had left the city I
wrote to Mr.. Tilghman, stating that /
did so in behalf of his former slave.
Jim Pembroke" who was then out of
the country and beyond his reach, but
was willing to pay a small sum for his
legal freedom. l took care, of course,
to give him no intimation of his
adopted name, nor of his place of RESI-
dence. Mr.. Tilghman wrote me in
reply that Jim was first-rate black
smith and well worth $1,000" and that
as servants We're then very high he
could not take less than $500.
The sum demanded was much be-
yond Mr.. Pennington's ability to pay.

TO RECLAIM NEW ENGLAND
SCHEME TO MAKE SOMETHING

corporation has been formed. with the
secretary of the New York stock ex

land and farm buildings in the states of
Massachusetts, Connecticut, New hamp-
shire and Vermont, and TO resell both on
such terms as TO attract purchasers in
large cities and so relieve the congeSted
cenIerS OF population.
The plan is Endorsed by John Wanna
maker Mrs. Bailington Booth, Nathaniel
s. Roseman,. manager of the Hebrew
charity fund and William r. Sessions,
secretary of the Massachusetts state
board of agriculture. Ofncers VIII be ap-
pointed here tomorrow Is eStlnd ted
that more than 2UO00U acres OF rich falloW
land, under cultivation 70 years ago, lies
Idle today in the New England states,
and it is the intention OF those who nave
associated themselves together for the
purpose, TO secure by option and by out
right purchases, all or nearly all of this
vast territory and to populate 1t with
material drawn from the crowded cities.
Missionary work will be begun in the
large cities. principally New York and

President Lightbourn says of the
scheme: Our organization, while bust

hailed with delight throughout New Eng

circiing it on the north and east, and
off to the south, stretching far away,
till lost in the distance, the jagged and
country, with it's weird, fantastic
shapes, outlined against the southern
horizon, it cannot but commend itself
to the lovers of the beautiful.
Off to the northeast may be seen the
rugged gorge. through which the wat
ers of Ashley creek have flowed must
cally for unknown centuries.
Standing upon Main street and look
ing due east, your gaze rests upon the
mighty chasm, from which issues Green
river, on its leisurely way to its des-
tination in the far away south, where
the blasts of winter never blow, and
ice jams are unknown.
Off to the southwest and in plain
view may be seen the gap over which
passes the great thoroughfare which
winds with many a twist and turn
away to Price. 125 miles distant.
Could one occupy an elevated posi-
ton, where, with the aid of powerful
glasses, one could look over that 125
miles, he would see an endless process
sion of teams, freighted with the null
hilarious necessities of a progressive
and prosperous people.
The magnet which attracts all this ac-
tivity is the town of Vernal, into whose
lap is poured this never-ending stream
of supplies. and the cry continually
goes up for more.
When the wall of semi-savagery that
rises on our west and south is torn
away, and the steel rails of commerce
penetrate this region, then will VernaI
fulfill her destiny, and become the
great business center of a rich and
prosperous section.

Unless some untoward circumstances
occur to check her onward progress,
Vernal will be the center of all this
trade, which will make of her the prin-
cipal city of eastern Utah.
With all this before her, and with so
many resources at her door, it will be
strange indeed if the future should fail
to bring wealth and prosperity as her
inevitable portion.
