THE NEGROES STRIKE BACK.
Republican Regulars Meet and Denounce
Major Grants Utterances
Especial to News and Observer.)

(Opeclal 10 news anu ODSeINeI.)
Goldsboro, n. c., April IA.
The REGULARS of the Republican
party held another convention here
today. New delegates were elected to
the district and State conventions.
About thirty-fve negroes were pres
ent.
II. +. Hogan, the colored chairman
of the Executive Committee. who was
repudiated by the Grant element,
made a speech, severely denouncing
Major Grants utterances in regard to
the negro saying that the Major did
not oppose the amendment because it
would work injury to the negro, but
because it would prevent him from
riding into office again, on the ne
groeS vote.
He said the negroes had been tools
in the hands of few white leaders
long enough, and the time had come
when they should do their own think
ing and vote in a manner that would
be subservient to their interest.
w. S. Hogans, secretary of Con-
gresham White, was on hand and de-
Tended his boss, and opposed the
amendment.

WHICH WILL WIN OUT ?
Strikers Say the Engineers Will Help
Them in the Fight.
RAILROADS DECLARE THE STRIKE OVER
Encouraging News is Sent Out to the Strikers
by Mr.. Powell, Who Says He Has
$4,000 With Which to Garry
on the Contest.

The railroads say there is no strike,
but admit that there are places va
Gated by the strikers, that have not
yet been filled. They also deny that
it is necessary to run the trains by
operators, although they have left no
take the places of the strikers.
On the other hand, the strikers say
that they are holding their own; that
the operators who are taking their
places are boys, many of whom has
never taken a train order. They ex-
press determination to stay out un-
til they do win, and seem to be very
confident of their ultimate victory.
RAILROAD SIDE.
Mr.. Henry Miller, the Private Secre-
tary of Mr.. A. b. Andrews, was asked
what the situation was in regard to
the strike. He replied: las far as |
can see, there is no strike. Every
train is running on regular time;
every train has come into Raleigh to-
day exactly as it was scheduled. We
have filled every important place that
has been vacated on account of the
strike. We have filled them with men
too. 1t has been reported that all the
men who are taking the strikers
places are boys, but this is mistake.
The places that. have not been sup
piled will be, as soon as the travelling
auditors can get around to them and
check the strikers out. The trouble
with us has been too few travelling
auditors instead of too few telegra-
piers.
1.-THE company has no desire to treat
any one harshly. We do not think
that the strikers realized what they
were doing. great many of them
are boys anyway, and have accepted
unwise advice, and showed lack of
discretion.
Il do not think there is any proba-
bility that the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers will take up the
strike. i have spoken to several pass
ing through here, and they say it is nc
night of theirs. And besides. I think
though | am not sure, that their laws
prohibit taking up a strike through
sympathy"
STRIKERS SIDE.
On the other hand the strikers seen
to take a very cheerful view of the
case. They say they received bulle
tin from Mr.. Powell to the effect thai
he has $4,000 with which to carry or
the strike, and that the wages of al
who have struck, whether members
of the order or not will be paid. They
also say that while the trains have
come into Raleigh approximately or
time, this regularity is not general
throughout the entire system of the
Southern, but only to this division.
They also say that it is very likely
that the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers will take up the strike, and
that in several cases. engineers have
refused to run under 'scab" orders
They say that the success of the strike
is assured, if the engineers espouse
the cause of the operators.

CHORAL SERVICES.
Easter Observance at the Church of the Good
Shepherd.

The Church of the Good Shepherd
was beautifully decorated for the
Easter observances and all the SER
vices were largely attended.
In the evening the rite of confrma-
ton was administered by Bishop Ches-
hire to thirteen candidates. The con-
gregation crowded the church, and
many stood in the aisles. 1t was pc
culiarly fitting that the service should
have been rendered chorally the ele-
ment of praise being always the dom
inant note in Easter services.

human language, and as such the most
appropriate expression of worship to

Temple, when the minute details of
that worship were ordered by Jeho-

adopted this mode of worship as being
the highest and most fitting rendering
of sacred worship The service was
intoned by Rev. Mr.. Bratton, Rector
of ST. Mary's, the choir making the
usual responses.
Bishop Cheshire preached a very
able sermon from the text, The first

unto the sepulchure and seeth the
stone taken away from the sepul-
chure." 1t was a sermon of unusual
thought and power and any brief sum-
mary would fail to adequately convey
a proper idea of the Bishops. After
the sermon Rev. DIR. Pittenger pre-
scented the candidates for confirmation
and they received the sacred rite at
the Bishops hands.
The services concluded with the ben
diction of the Bishop and the white
robed choir preceded by a little cru
cifier, holding high aloft the symbol
of the redemption, passed down the
crowded aisle chanting the occasional

THE SELMA SITUATION.
Mr. Edgerton Denies the Statement of Train
Master Williams.

Mr.. N. E. Egerton, Secretary and
Treasurer of the Selma Cotton Oil mills
and one of the leading citizens of John
ston county, who is widely known
throughout the State, and whose state
ment can be absolutely relied upon, was
in Raleigh yesterday and being asked by
the News and Observer reporter as to the
truth of the following interview by Train
master H. A. Williams, published on Sat-
urday:
"At Selma the trouble is caused,
not by the operator but by the agent
and his cashier The operator has not
struck and would work if only the
agent would allow him to do so. But
the agent, w. H. Prtchard, has cut
the wire, nailed up the Office and he
and his cashier, W. H. Call, will allow
no one to go in. The people there
seem to be in sympathy with these
men and they have threatened to kill
any man who tries to take charge of
the wire there"
Mr.. Egerton said:
THE statement that Mr. Call and Mr..
Pritchard nailed up the door is untrue.
They simply, when the order came to
strike, locked the door, and have made
no comment or remarks that would lay
them liable in the least. Their DISPOSE
ton has been all the time to turn over
the office to any authorized agent of the
Southern railroad when properly checked
out. The people of Selma sympathize
with these gentlemen for they have done
nothing improper. They are first -class
men in every respect and enjoy the con-
fidence of the community.
ION Thursday night Governor Russell
sent four officers to Selma and they were
simply made railroad police. Statements
were made by the crew of the train that
left Raleigh on, that these officers made
the threat that they would take charge of
that depot or kill every man in Selma
One Of them, the youngest of the crowd
was beastly drunk and said that he did
not know where he was when he got there
They reported to the mayor and asked
him to break the doors of the freight
depot and turn it over to them. Mayor
j. H. Parker, claimed that he had nc
authority to enter the depot by legal pro-
ceedings; that unless he had written in
structions from some officer of the South.

The Game The Best of the Season. The Only
Run Made Was in the 9th, Last
Inning.

The A. and NJ. College defeated Wake
Forest here yesterday by the score of
to 0. From start to finish it was one u
the prettiest games ever seen in Raleigh
Neither side scored until the ninth in
ming, when Fenner crossed the plate Tor
the A. and M team.
Both teams played a good steady game
but the fielding of the preachers was
the stronger. The Wake Forest boys
could not touch little" Persons, they
only made three hits off of him during
the entire game. Wake Forest came very
near scoring in the sixth inning, when
with man on third and one on second
and only one man out. Moore came to
the bat and knocked what would have
ordinarily been a hit, but Person H., un-
assisted. made a beautiful double on it,
and retired the side.
Fenner, who scored the winning run got
first on a hit, stole second and third and
came home on a long fly TO centre field
Persons pitching for the A. and NJ has
been pronounced by critics as the finest
ever seen in Raleigh. His work in the
box yesterday will assure his rank as
one Of the best pitchers in the State.
The Wake Forest players came de-
termined to win, and they played an
| excellent game Of ball. There is only one
error to their credit feat which is not
| often duplicated. They played a fast
| game, and except for the fact that the
| A. and M boys made a long hit but ex-
actly in the right place, in the last in.
ming they would have tied the score.
1t was fine game, this contest be-
