These Hugglng Parties.

a Charleston paper, several years

Importation into the South, but they
are becoming very popular in some
sections, especially in Virginia. The
prices are as follows: For girls under

paragraph entitled "A Hugginr
Match" which was intended e be
funny, but which proved to be mean.
1t embodied the cid fossilizcd slur on
old maids, and averrcd that in the
hugging matches now in vogue in d.
| yers places, while young girls and
widows were hugged at dollar or two
each, and very few seconds allowed
at that for the thrilling performance,
.. old maids were hugged ut 3 cents each
or two for nickel, with no limit as to
time. I'll vouch that the author Of
that paragraph is bachelor who

Committed Technical Assault.

Isaiah Redden, colored eXpressman, was
before Judge Mills today for assault and
for secrcting the hve-year-old child of John
A. Bell, also colored. The evidence showed
that the mother of the child has been dead
several years. Before her death she placed
the baby in charge of one Mrs. Mack
Later Bell went to Reddens house to board
taking the child with him. A few days ago
Bell concluded to make another change and
did so, and with the child moved to No. 920
Liberty street. Two or three days since
Redden went out to look for tile little one
and noticed him sitting on the steps of the
Liberty street house. Without further ado
Redden picked him up and drove off.
AS soon as Bell learned what had trans
pired he made an effort to get Redden to
return the child to him, but he refused
either to do that or to tell him what he
had done with it. Bell then had Redden
arrested.
Redden admitted the charge, but claimed
that he was justified In his course because
he liked the child and the latter liked him.
Judge Mills said 1t was clear Redden was
guilty Of technical assault, and fined the
accused $40 with the alternative of sixty
days in Jail, but finally decided to take
Redden's personal bonds to give possession
of the child to Bell.

Samp,on's Ships and Crews.

With the naval review at New York over.
a board of survey from the New York navy
yard will go over the ships of Admiral
SIMPSONS fleet to determine exactly what
repairs are to be made on each ship. and
to report to the Navy Department. Until
this board reports, the department has no
fixed plans to the order in which the
ships will be locked and repairs made. The
present indications are that the only dock
large enough to take them will not be
ready for two weeks or more. In the mean
time such repairs can be made without
docking will proceed on all the ships. 1t is
expected that the crews of the battle ships
and cruisers will be given considerable
shore leave within the next few days, al
though this Is left entirely with the COM
manders of the several ships.

EMERY GROVE CAMP,
CO1Ored MethOdists Besfn a Series of
Religious Services.


Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star
WASHINGTON GROVE, Md.
August u, 1898.
A few years since an association was
formed by colcred men for the purpose of
selecting and making a suitable place for
the holding of annual camp meetings by
Methodists of their race within the circuit
which embraces Rockville, Emory Grove,
Pleasant View, Scotland and Mt Pleasant
After much deliberation Emory Grove was
selected as the proper site and large
tract of land was purchased covered with
fine timber and bordering upon the Lay
louisville road. Upon those grounds camp
meeting is being held under the charge of
the Rev. Edward Moore of Rockville.
A large number of tents are occupied by
family parties and a two-story frame cot
tage has this season been erected, which IS
the beginning of a number proposed to be
erected by some of the enterprising mem
bers and officials of the association.
Sunday is the especial day for meetings,
and an attendance of over $500 persons
upon the grounds gave the first meeting of
the day-a love feast-a large audience
The meeting was in charge of the Rev. NJ
Claire, p. E.. who for his first lesson read
seventeen verses of Isaiah, 43d chapter
and for his second one fifteen verses from
Acts, chapter 3. 1t was a typical praise
and experience meeting.
The preaching service followed without
any intermission, and the Rev. ]. l.. Thorn
as, pastor of the Asbury A. NJ. E. Church
of Washington. preached a sermon from the
text Whereof are we Witnesses found in
Acts. 3:15.
The presiding elder of Washington dis
trict preached in the afternoon, selecting
Isaiah 3:10-11. His theme was 1.-The re-
ward awaiting the righteous and the ills
which follow the wicked
In the evening the Rev. DR.. I. L. Thomas
preached upon the subject TO whom shall
we go?' taken from John GIGS.
In attendance upon these meetings are
Rev. j. NJ. Anderson of Oak Grove, Rev.
]. S. Johnson of Wilmington, Del. Rev.
Robert Addison of Mt. Zion and Rev. j. h
Bailey of Emory Grove.
Many white people have attended the
Sunday meetings. The officers and clergy
are anticipating unusual attendance
upon the meetings of next Sunday, ii being
the last for the year.
