AVOIDED PERSONAL ABUSE.
None Used at Rally of Second Dis
frict Union Club.

frict Union CluDs
A lack of vituperation characterized
the meeting of the Second District
Union Club last night in its hall over
Champion & Evans store, on West
Broad street.
The hall was crowded. The meeting
was the largest and most
enthusiastic held by the club
since the opening of the cam
paign. Robert j. Travis, Esq, was
unable to attend and his answer to
the abuse heaped upon him will be
given at future meeting. Speeches
were made by Messrs. S. L. Lazaron,
R. NJ. Lester, w. F. Slater, John E.
Myrick and w. p. LaRoche.
The speakers refrained from the
use of personal abuse. They were Wig
orous enough in what they had to say
and were in no manner lukewarm.
They simply did not resort to personal
attacks. The point was forcibly press
ed that argument upon the real issues
should be considered by the voters, and
not personal abuse. The sentiment of
the members of the club appeared to
have been voiced by the speakers, and
they were loudly applauded. 1t was
argued that public officers as servants
Va Tic DCOpit dlt always open " CAlli-
Cism, and that the defenders of sucn
officials should confine themselves to
answering any charges made, rather
than resort to Safeguarding and Wilt
flying.
It was contended that the issues
should not be passed by, and the time
of the opposition devoted to attacks
upon speakers. The voters are inter-
ested. it was said, in the welfare of
the government, and when criticism
is made, are not blinded by a So
called answer which contains only
abuse of the critics, and nothing about
the criticism. The speakers predicted
the defeat of the administration at the
primary on June 5. and urged the mem
bers of the Union Club, and those who
are opposed to the administration, to
continue their good work and make
the defeat one long to be remembered.
The question of a reformatory was
not discussed at the meeting, and it
does not appear to be the intention of
the club to make it an issue in the
present campaign. The meeting was
presided over by President T. F. Dun
ham, and the showing made was COM
mented upon by him. The members
of the club expressed themselves as
being gratified at the large turnout

SOUTH SIDE POLITICS.

RefOrmatory.


Two speakers announced in favor of
a reformatory at largely attended
meeting of the South Side Administra-
tion Club held last night in Kiser's
Hail. Twelve new members were elect
ed, and there was a good deal of en-
thusiasm.
Speeches were made by Sheriff John

Esq, and ]. Robert Creamer. There
were no roasts. Mr.. Myrick said that
he opposed all roasting and favored

that which is undignified. The speak
,ers said that no issues have yet been
sprung, and urged the followers of the
Citizens Club to keep up the good work
that they are now. performing.
Mr.. Dreamer spoke at some length in
favor of a reformatory and gave some
reasons why he thinks one should be
established. Mr.. Wade also advocated
criminals could be taught to farm rath-
er than learn trades, and urged that
they be separated from older and hard
ened criminals.
Alderman Holland and Maj. Schwarz
called attention to the improvements
made in the South Side by the admin
istrations of the Citizens Club. and re-
called few years ago when the south
ern section of the city was little more
than fields of weeds. These have given
way to sidewalks, parks and handsome
residences. built because of the many
improvements.

THE ANVfL'S RECEIVER.
Evidence and Arguments Heard by
Judge Barrow in Chambers.


Judge Barrow in Chambers.
The hearing in the case Of The Anvil.
which dissatisfied holders of unpaid
death claims are asking, shall be placed
in the hands of a receiver, was begun
before Judge Barrow, of the Superior
Court, at chambers yesterday morning.
The hearing was not concluded,
though the introduction of evidence
is over. Arguments were begun yes
terday and will be concluded tonight.
The evidence introduced at the hear
ing yesterday followed the charges
that have been made by the Plaintiffs
and their counsel, Alexander & Hitch
and Travis & Edwards, and the re-
sponses to these charges made on be-
half of the defendant. The plaintiffs
say that the appointment of a perma-
nent receiver is essential to the proper
care of the property, while the defend
ant answers that such an administra-
ton of its assets is unnecessary, '%ill
be expensive and is likely 10 be utterly
destructive of the arrangements sought
to be made by it for the protection of
its policy holders, its directors, who
are large creditors, and the holders OF
death claims
the policy holders are alleged in the
making of the contract with the
American Guild which is to take over
the members of The Anvil. Affidavits
were introduced showing that the poll
cies were in every case largely reduced
in amount, that the policy issued by
the Guild was to be effective for ten
years, instead of for life and that a
re-examination was required.
To this the defendants answered that
the ten year policies Of the Guild were
all being withdrawn and that re-ex-
animation requirement not being en-
forced.
Other charges were made and an
swered during the course of the hear
ing. AS stated the introduction of af-
firmative evidence followed the charges
made in the petition of the plaintiffs
and the reply of the defendants the
averments of its answer filed in court.
These have been fully covered by con-
temporary accounts in the Morning
News.
