THECOLORED AMERICAN

Mr. George Carroll. one of the
most popular promoters of secret soci-
eties in this city, died at his late resi-
dence on Dallas street on Monday eve
ming, after an illness of several
months. Mr.. Carroll was connected
in one way or another with the Odd
Fellows, Masons, Nazarites, Order of
Moses, Good Samaritans, and many
other orders. To his executive ability
is due the purchase of the lot and
erection of the Nazarite Temple in
the heart of the city, which will al
ways stand as a monument to him
and the race. His funeral, which took
place on Friday last was one of the
largest ever held in Baltimore. Trib-
utes of respect to his memory in the
form of resolutions and addresses
marked the high esteem in which he
was held. The resolutions from the
District Grand Lodge No. Ii, S. U.
o. o. F., read by Dist. Grand Master
Julius c. Johnson were particularly
touching. The community feels the
loss of an able and useful man.
Mr. w. Melville Lee, Mr.. and Mrs.
Geo. E. Frey, who had charge of the
catering on the Queen Anne R. R.
between Baltimore and Cape May,
have returned to the city after very
successful season.
Mrs Williams, of Chicago, sister of
Mr. Thomas H. Buckingham, proprie-
tor of the Waldorf Hotel, is visiting
her brother and Mrs. Buckingham.
Mrs Harry L. Cummings and daugh-
ter, Lucille, have returned to the city
after a sojourn of some weeks at Ex-
more, Va, where they were the guests
of Mrs. Mollie Stone and Mrs. Eliza
beth Roberts.
Mrs. Adelaide V. Hill, of Sand
Springs, has been appointed as vice
principal of the colored school at Daw-
son, Baltimore county
Councilman Herman Waltz, who has
been confined to his home by illness
for several weeks, was able to be out
this week. He is much improved.
Another public school was turned
over to the colored school teachers at
the beginning of the school term.
This insures the employment of addi-
tional colored teachers.
The opening of the September term
of court has caused much activity
among the lawyers. Lawyer Harry S.
Cummings has a very full docket in
the civil, criminal and equity courts
among the more important cases be-
ing that of State v. John Warfeld,
charged with murder, and United
States V. Richard c. Wright, the pop
ular young society favorite who was
an efficient clerk in the Baltimore
post-office.

mission of fraud, that the entire board
of supervisors of elections of Balti-
more city, together with sixty judges
and clerks of election, were indicted
by the grand jury and tried in the
criminal court for failure to perform
their duty. So iniquitous indeed is
the law that it has no defenders
even it's makers who now agree that
it should be modified.
The Republican party comes out
boldly in its platform and promises
the State the reenactment of the cleo
tiOn law passed at the general assem-
bly, (Republican) of 1896-a law
which was confessedly the best that
Maryland has ever had, and is in fact
unsurpassed by any other State The
fight will be forced by the Republicans
upon this vital issue. 1t will be for
the Democrats to answer why they
the present law which they dare not
now defend.
Next of special Importance comes
the growing sentiment waited from
the South that the right to vote as
extended to the Negro should be
abridged. The foundation is trying to
be laid to place the Negro voter of
Maryland in the same position as he
is in Louisiana, North Carolina, Mis-
sissippi, Virginia and other States,
white rule" If a Democratic legis-
lature and Governor are elected, they
will in all probability do all in their
power to abridge the Negroes fran
chise.
How will the Negro of Maryland
meet the issue? a.
is there but one thing for them
to do?
Will any other course save a united
opposition to the forces which would
destroy him, be manly?
These questions answer themselves.
Then there's the question of the
Senatorship. While this question, so
far as individuals are concerned, is
not decided, yet with the election of a
Republican legislature, the over
whelming victory of the frauds of
Senator McComas in the counties and
in the wards of Baltimore city, leaves
him as the unquestioned choice of the
Republicans of the State. With every
prospect of Republican victory, it is
safe to say that Senator McCOmas
viii succeed himself.

says the white men were painters
and paper hangers who wanted to
do some work for Mr.. Church.
When told their services were not
wanted, they grew angry, hot
words passed and the fight fol-
lowed. Both white men were bad
ly cut and bruised also; after they
were carried to the hospital for
treatment they were placed under
arrest Mr.. Church gave bond
for his appearance and was carried
to his home, where his wounds
were dressed by his family ply
sician, DR.. D. d. Saunders.
Wm~ Smith, supposed to have
been a man from the country ped
ding chickens, was shot by
Louis c. Slaughter, a groceryn1an,
on Walker ave- The poor man
died few days thereafter, and
perhaps his family is still expect
ing him home. This is one of the
many brutal murders which is too
often committed in the South. Pa
trOlman BOyles, who was not on
duty at the time, saw Negro 60
ing from house to house trying to
sell chickens; being prompted by
the thought that ''nigger" had
no right to own chickens, this all
important and powerful officer
placed him under arrest. After
this poor, defenseless mad had
been placed under arrest, the Of
fcer turned him over to the gro
ceryman and gave the latter his
gun, with the injunction to kill
the ''nigger' if he attempted to
escape. Prominent residents of
the avenue, whose names were
published in The Commercial Ap-
peal, say the man made no attempt
to escape, but while standing on
the platform, was most brutalfy
shot without provocation. Negro
preachers are appealing to citizens
to raise five hundred dollars to pay
white lawyer for taking the case.
Knowing public sentiment here
against furnishing white man for
such acts of 1awlessness when the
victims are Negroes, the people
will be slow in responding to this
call.

BRENNAN ACCUSED
Baseball Umpire Held on Charge
of Robbing a Pythian
Delegate.
IS ARRESTED IN DAVENPORT
He and Alleged Accomplish, Harry
Smith, to Have Hearing
Next Tuesday.


Jack Brennan may be denied an OPP
as baseball umpire next season if the
charge that has been instituted
against him by the Rock Island police
is sustained by the facts brought out
in the hearing. Brennan, who was ar
rested last night in Davenport by
Capt. Lawrence Kramer and Detec-
tive Richard Carnes, is held for lar
ceny. Harry Smith, aged 10, of this
city, is locked up on a similar charge.
The hearing was postponed until next
Tuesday, when \. ID. Walker, of Dali
las City, ILL.,, who claims to have been
robbed of a gold watch and $40 in
money at Joe Parker's saloon on Sec
ond avenue, where Brennan tended
bar, can be summoned to the city.
After the close of the baseball sea-
son Brennan liked Rock Island so well
that he decided to pitch his tent here
for the winter. He had some expert
ence dealing out hops. and was taken
in as a silent partner at Parker's es-
adjustment. He was given charge of
the night shift. 1t was not long after
Brennan's identification with the sa-
loon until complaints reached the po-
lice of persons getting 'doped' and
rolled there. but they were unable
to secure absolute proof in any in
stance. However, the saloon was
growing so notorious that Mayor Nc
Conochie refused to renew Parker's
license when his term expired the
first of the present month.
Pythian Delegate a Victim.
Walker was delegate to the
Knights of Pythias grand lodge meet
ing here. He told his story to the
police before returning home. He
said he visited the Parker saloon
many times, and took his friends
there, spending about $50 over the
mahogany during the four days of the
convention. On the last day, just he
fore taking his train. he thought ii
would be the proper thing to go and
bid the boys au revoir. He said he
took just two drinks in the saloon.
On the second round he went down
and out. Two of the loungers of the
place carried him into a back room
10 SOBeT up. w men he aNbkc he Was
shy his watch and funds.
The police have been working on
the case since, and yesterday traced
the watch TO Thomas Kennedy, a
clerk in the Biiou cigar store on Sec
ond avenue. Kennedy stated he
bought the watch from another
young man for So. Smith, for whom
the police had been looking for sew
eraI days, voluntarily visited the sta
ton yesterday afternoon, apparently
not knowing what he was wanted for
He was placed under arrest. He had
| been hanger-on at the Parker sa-
loon. He admitted having had the
watch in his possession, claiming il
was given him to sell by Brennan. and
that he considered the proposition a
trifle too warm to handle, so he gave
the timepiece to another fellow to dis
pose of it.
Brennan. when located in Daven
port last night. expressed surprise
that he should be suspected of any
wrong-doing, denying any knowledge
of the alleged theft at the Parker es-
Establishment. Brennan and Smith are
at the county Jail.

John c. Ryan was given 30 and Char
ley Kane 10 days for vagrancy. They
were panhandling people in the bust
ness district last night. Ryan, who is
minus an arm, also stole a hat in the
Peoples Credit company's clothing
store on Twentieth street. making the
switch when the clerk had his back
turned, and leaving his own chapeau
behind. Ryan made an impassioned
plea to the magistrate at his hear

anything in his life, and it made him
sad that he should be so shamefully
treated here. He stood high back in
his home town in the east. and it
would shock his relatives and friends
if they heard he had been arrested.
He was a peaceable citizen who was
simply sightseeing in the west. and
would continue on his journey if the
magistrate would be kind enough to
let him off. The court said he would
dismiss the charge of theft and SEN
tence him as a vagrant. Ryan tried
to deliver tears to make his plea more
effective, but he failed.
