tion OF Governor Black. because of their
refusal to accord what the Convention
termed "proper recognition" TO the
coored volunteers of the country :.
created great excitement in the church.
The speeches delivered were of the
most exciting kind. and men and wo-
men stood on the seats and applauded
while one woman, with tears in her
eyes, begged the Convention to let her
voice the sentiments of the women.
PLEADED FOR THE WOMEN.
Just for one minute. For Gods
sake, hear Us 20 she cried.
When the Rev. A Gordon, OF Phila-
delphia, declared Ithat he had hoped,
and was hoping, that the American
arms would not be victorious until jus
tice had be accorded 10 the Negro
soldiers, there was vociferous applause,
w Bishop johnson, of Washington,
ID. c., editor of the National Baptist
Magazine, precipitated the discussion

of the country in which he said that

alarm the administrations attitude to-

ed the appointment of committee to

Pacific Rolling Mills Will Soon Be
Shut Down
SAN FRANCISCO. May 1.-THE Bulle-
tin this afternoon says:
The directors Of the Pacific Coast Roll
ing Mills. in this city, have decided to close
the establishment and terminate the BUSH
ness. 1t is declared that the corporation
IL perfectly solvent and that the closing of
its AFFAIRS at this time was decided upon
80 that every Indebtedness of the company
could be paid, 1t being argued that the
business has been operating at a loss ami
that creditors would suffer considerably
II the mills were kept in operation. There
are $713 900 worth of outstanding bonds, ana
these, with the other claims against the
company, will bring the aggregate indebt-
edness of the company up to nearly $500, 009.
Most of the bonds Of the company are held
in this city.
The reason given for the losses referred
to is that the company cannot compete with
the prices of labor and material now exist
Inc in the Eastern States.
The Pacific Rolling Mills was probably
second In size to the Union Iron Woras on
this coast, and, like the latter concern, has
done much contract work for the govern
ment, especially In the way of large cast
ings for the warships built here. 1t is gen.
orally expected that the creditors of the
company will agree to peaceful termina-

REDI4ANDS, May 17Jacg Maier, cleo
trIcian for the Redlands Electric Light and
Power company. had thrilling experience
and very narrow escape from death. He
was engaged In the dangerous work of
making connection with live wire on

alley not more than hundred feet away.
1aier was at the top of the pole among

dangerous connection. when his hand came
In contact with the wire. He Instantly be-
came unconscious and fell upon the wires
and cfoss-beam. Those at work near him
and number Of persons observed his per-
llous condition and ran to his rescue; his
1lesh was burning and he was hanging
head downward; apparently ready to drop
to the pavement below. Frank Forester
climbed the pole and cut the wire. This
WAS done In = minute, and no doubt saved
tho mans life. A great crowd soon gath
cred. who, not aware that the live wire
had been cut and the current turned of
was much excited. They were soon re-
lieved Of their fears and much gratified
that the man would live.
While rope was being tied around his
body he showed some signs of conscious
ness, and sigh of relief went up from the
crowd. When lowered to the roof he soon
beanie conscious and realized his narrow
escape.
He was taken into the armory and Drs
Blythe and Sanborn were summoned. The
thumb and middle finger of the left hand
were burned to the bone, and slight burns
were on the right hand and neck. Super
intendent Ensign stated that hereafter the
current would be turned OF when connec-
