office of the Second Auditor of the
Treasury, which he held efficiently until
the first term of President Cleveland,
very early after whose assumption of the
reigns of government Kelly was sum-
marily bounced, and lay outside the
breastworks until the incoming Harri
son administration, when he was as inn
mediately reinstated and thereafter held
his place until the date of his death,
leaving an enviable record in the Office
for absolute reliability and efficiency.
On July 7, 1879, Kelly was married to
Miss Belle w. Smith, a native-born
Washingtonian, who survives him. He
left no children
In the flush times of military life in
Washington, when all of the organiza-
tiOnS were independent, Capt Kelly was
in command of Co. A, Capital City
Guards, one of the best known military
organizations of the country He re-
signed therefrom at the time of his dis
charge from Office and took no further
active part in military matters At the
outbreak of the Spanish war he sought
an appointment as colonel, for which he
was highly endorsed, but like all others
failed of appointment, and so there
came no break in the peaceful latter
years of his life, spent in the enjoyment
of happy home, and the association, of
friends were held him in esteem. He
was remarkably popular with a very
much younger set of men who made his
home for years a social rendezvous, and
mourn his loss. By another strange CO
incidence, the bones of each one of the
same trio now repose at the capital of
the Nation they helped to defend Thos.
R. Hawkins died February 28 1890 and
lies buried in Harmony Cemetery. Geo.
NJ. Arnold was killed June 9, 1893, and
is also buried at Harmony, but a few

| pity that Kelly is not also between them
instead of in Arlington, or better still
would it be if the three were side by side
in that hallowed place, until the great

Thompson is a Democrat these colored
men vote Solidly for him for Congress,
because they have found him TO be
loyal friend. At TuSkegee Normal and
industrial Institute they were greeted by
Mr.. Washington and his teachers and
pupils and saw the other aspect of the
race-the scholar and the artisan. The
magnitude and work of this school were
a revelation even to those who had read
much of the place and its wonderful

other points the party inspected the pub

homes OF the race, conversed with rep

and returned to Washington wiser and

with 6be Old Guard"

Providence, r. l., Special-John A.
Jtrl ms. one of the b",t known C0lorrd
citizens of Rhode Island, died Tuesday,
June sd, at the ripe old age of seventy
six years. The deceased was born in
Philadelphia, Pa, but moved to Boston,
Mass, when very young. He received
his early education in the public schools
of the latter city and when seventeen
years of age came to the city of Provi-
dence where he resided during the re-
nIainder of his life He was a scholar
of no mean merit and was especially a
lover OF literary pursuits During the
Civil War he enlisted in the Fourteenth
Rhode Island Heavy Artillery, Co. A,
and served with distinction, being recOg-
nized for his keen military ability and
at the close of the war was honc-ably
discharged On his return home he as
sumed the leadership of the Congdon
Street Baptist Church choir, which po-
sition he creditably held for several
years. In the years 1880 Mr.. Jenkins
represented the colored citizens in the
General Assembly of the State, where he
conducted himself with credit to himself
and his race On one occasion while
serving in that body he was called upon
to preside over the deliberations of the
House of Representatives when SAID
body was acting as committee of the
whole on State property
He was a fearless advocate of the
rights of the race to which he belonged
and was for twelve years associated with
the Hon. James Jefferson and the Hon.
George T. Downing in the fight for equal
school privileges for colored children in
the public schools of the State. He
leaves no immediate relatives but large
circle of white and colored friends.
The funeral services were held at the
Congdon Street Baptist Church, Satur-
day, June 7. Ives Post. No. I3, G. A.

The gravest apprehension was felt in
some quarters and the critics feared that
the especial design was TO defeat the

crow car bill and all legislation looking
to an exposure of Southern election
methods. So violently were the charges
rung upon this particular point by press
and Northern public that Col Thomp-

the most talked-about member of the
entire Congress.
PERSONNEL OF THE PARTY
Undeterred, however, by the miSlead-
ing comment of the suspicious and en-
lcouraged by commendatory letters from
the highest authorities in the land, white
and colored, Col. Thompson went on
with his arrangements and at the ap-
pointed time he and his guests were
speeding by special train toward their
scene of operations. 1t was regretted
by all that business engagements pre-
vented the attendance of several promi-
nent and influential gentlemen-notably

Mr.. Clarence Whipple calls our at

worked in Shenandoah this week. II
is that of a cooperative home building

very low price and on terms that are
too easy to entitle it to moments Sc
rious consideration. The same kind OF
swindles received the attention OF the
law makers at Des Moines this winter
and all of them have been denounced.
In theory the scheme is feasible but IT
depends upon lapses of many of Its pa
irons to make the thing pay out.
The scheme is reality is simply the
diamond steal under another guise.
Many Shenandoah people We're bitten
on that steal, and it ought to be a
warning to Others

MAN AND WOMAN WOUNDED.
Shoot ARRAY at Des Moines in Which
Two Are Injured.


Des Moines, April 16.-In shooting
day evening at $3.50 o'clock, Abraham
Bergstein and Mrs. II. Chairman were
severely wounded. 1t is not expected
that either is wounded fatally. Both
Bergstein and Mrs. Chairman say that
the shots were fired by Frank, George
and Charles Gully, three brothers, who
live on East Eleventh street.
1t was the merest accident that there
was not at least one murder. Bergstein
was shot in the side of the head, the
bullet coming out below ana back OF
the ear. The bullet seemingly glanced,
or it would certainly lave killed Berg
stein. Mrs. Chairman was shot thru
the feshy part of the leg, just above
the right knee. While painful, the
wound was not considered dangerous.
Mrs. Chairman was merely standing on
the sidewalk watching.
Bergstein told the following story:
MY brother Louis and I were de-
