PENNSYLVANIA ASHAMED.
Editor Daily Press:
AS native Pennsylvania l feel very.
much ashamed of the conduct of The
members of Battery c on the streets OF
This city during the past few DAYS.
pennsylvania soldiers have on numer-
ous occasions been called upon to uuei
disturbances caused by law break
ing persons and have always done their
DUTY and l blush with shame to see
these men during their stay in a South
ern cIty give reason for the harsh words
OF condemnation which we hear on all
SIDES. These men at home are law
abiding, peaceable citizens and know
there are homes today who zeal sad
that there was cause for the feeling of
the past few days
cannot imagine that all these PEG
pie have grown SO depraved but when
they frequent resorts whose reputation
is questionable they assume the risk
and can only blame themselves for
consequences.
I hope the people of Newport News
Will not class all our people with these
would-be hoodlums but that they will
believe Pennsylvania guard to be,
with very few exceptions. made up of
iaw-abiding and peace-loving citizens.

on a room on the top floor of 6S West

represented about $40 When Alderman
found himself in the hands of the police
he figured he might as well be killed Tor
an old sheep as a lamb, and he got up,
saying he was ready to go to the police
station. The six players, too, were much
perturbed for a moment, but Mooney as
sured them that he did not intend TO
lock up any one but the proprietor.
what about these chips?" demanded
Mooney.
ION, / guess they will take care or
themselves" replied Alderman.
Yes" said the detective, but these
men want money for them. Come, you
have the cash, 50 just start in and cash
these gentlemep's chips. IL you don't 1
will make it go much harder for you at
court. Here, will count them up"
SO saying Mooney seated himself at the
table and arranged the ivory waters in
stacks, and quickly figuring the value or
them. announced to Mr.. Alderman just
what he had to pay. Alderman decided 10
take the officers advice, and the six
players got their money and left the
place, breathing eternal friendship for
Mooney. Alderman was taken TO court
yesterday, but his case was adjourned.

handled the pick and shovel and turned
the earth, while others Joined in after
wards, and the ground was well dug up
before the gathering dispersed.
HALF A MILLION IN SIGHT
The erection of the Union University
In this city sprang from movement
which was inaugurated some time ago
looking 10 combining under one roof all
the colored theological seminaries in the
South and North and the movement gain
ed Roadway when Wayland Seminary, of
Washington, united in 1t and decided 10
move TO this city. Much money has been
pledged TO the enterprise, and the con-
tractors start their work to-day with a
half a million dollars in sight, which the
trustees think they will have no trouble
in collecting.
The exercises started yesterday after
moor at $3.50 o'clock and lasted for over
two hours. Professor Jones, of Rich
mond Theological Seminary, presided over
the meeting and after the scripture
reading introduced Rev. S. Thomas, who
led in prayer. "All Hail the Power of
Jesus Name was sung, after which DIR.
Corey was presented and made an ad-
dress He grew reminiscent in the out
SET, ana going DdcK lnlFty years NIdCtu
the work of educating negroes in theology
from the days when he started in 1t in
old Lumpkin's Jail up to the present time.
He then spoke of the possibilities for the
future, and hoped that the day was not
far distant when the preachers Of Rich
mond would be called upon to gather
where they stood yesterday, for the pur-
pose Of consecrating the buildings Of
Union University.
EPOCH IN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY.
DR.. left followed DIR. Corey, and alluded
10 the movement to establish the Union
University as an epoch in the educational
history of Virginia. He congratulated
the promoters of the enterprise on the
success which had crowned their efforts,
and asserted that education is prere-
quisite to strength in that no nation nor
people can achieve greatness or strength
without first being educated. He made
quite a lengthy talk along educational
lines, and when he concluded America"
was sung.
Rev. DR.. A. Il. Dickinson and Rev. Dr.
George Cooper made short speeches, in
which they congratulated the negro on
the progress he is making. and five
minute talks were also made by Revs.
c. d. Lewis, A. Binga X. Wells, w. l..
Taylor, and ]. w. Kirby. Then IL was
that DIR. Corey and DIR. Teft began to
break the earth, and soon all present were
engaged In digging for the foundation for
what will no doubt be a great institution
for the education of the colored ministry.
