Somewhat of a splash in the sable
waters of colored upper-tendom' was
caused last Monday night by the
arrest of 4 J Aoston, Il ci-devant

hundred" For several years the
said Aoston conducted Il barber shop

came to be custodian of the finances
of the local colored lodge of Odd
Fellows, of which he was u trusted
official. Some months ago he folded
his tent and hied him away to So
ciety Hill, when it transpired that

had disappeared with him. After
some correspondence on the subject

give the matter his personal atten-
ton. Accordingly he arrived Mon
day night on train "39", and as he
stepped on the station platform
Sheriff Graham took him III charge
and escorted him around to the Jail,

THEY'RE AFTER HOLLOWAY.
MAN WHO WORKED CAROLINA
BERRY DSAL MISSING.
[ atest Victims, Butter, Fruit and Veg
etable, Fish and Oyster
Shippers.
(From The New York Packer.) }


PHILADELPHIA, Aug. III c
Holloway, whose berry deal in South
Carolina was aired by The Packer d
year ago while he WAS operating un-
der the name of J ID Fleming & Co.,
of this city, and who last March
opened in his own name at No. l
Vine ST., this city, is III very urgent
demand by a lot of shippers. Hol-
loway cannot be found. lie left
Philadelphia some time ago.
There is no telling how much
Holloway owes crcamerymen, oyster
men, fishermen and fruit and pro-
duce shippers in the country. A
Philadclphim who accidcntly came
in contact with some of Hol!oway's
business dealings Of the past three
months said that he ihought Hollo-
way cot of with close on to $4,000.
So far us The Packer can learn at
present there are ) warrants out for
his arrest. Several shippers swear
that if they ever get sight of Hollo
way they will spend Il good deal
more than Their accounts amount to
in IN endcavor to put him in Jail.
The Still Pond crca merry of Still
Pond, Nd, is one of Holloway'S
creditors. This firm sent Holloway
3O4 lbs of butter, which amounted
to S96.03. Holloway paid for the
butter in check of $53.0l, which
check was protested.
J N Bennett, proprietor OF the
Still Pond creamery, went to Phila-
delphia to look for Holloway. There
was no one in the Office but sten-
ographer, who said that Holloway
had gone up in Maine to catch
Holsters. This may have been in
tended for joke, but Mr. Bennett
could not see it that way.
In The Packer of May "A, 1902,
the Lake City, S. G., deal which
Holloway worked on strawberry
shippers in the name of J d Flem-
ing & Co., was exposed. Holloway
made contracts with a number Of
shippers at that point to handle
their berries. He got all the fruit
he could, paying in checks. When
it was time to get out he notified
his bank at Camden, N. j., to stop
payments on all checks out, which
was done.
DIR A II Williams afterwards
came to Philadelphia in the interest
of the growers. He succeeded in
getting partial settlement on sew
eral claims with Holloway's promise
that he would pay the remainder
just as soon as he got the money.
Some time after that when Hollo-
way was in the South it is said he
was arrested by his Lake City cred
itors. They, however, could not
take him into South Carolina with
out a requisition and while the
officer was on his way to get the
necessary papers signed Holloway
escaped in some mysterious and un-
accountable way.

ining them announced that the Id
dies prize, gold pen, had resulted
in tie between Misses Selma Thorn
and Bessie Harper. The two con-
testants then drew for the prize,
which was won by Miss Harper.
With beiitting remarks the pen was
presented to the winner.
The second course was then served,
consisting of cream, cake, Delaware
grapes, salted almonds, burnt al
monds, chocolate almonds and Huy-
ler's bonbons.
The chairman then announced
that the guessing contest would be-
gin. A bottle filled with beans was
brought into view and each had a
try at guessing the number it con-
tanned. In this contest Misses
Selma Thorn and Pearl Roger
tied for the ladies' prize, letter
opener with pearl blade and silver
handle. These two fair ladies had
another trial, the prize being won by
Miss Pearl Roger. With appro-
pirate remarks it was awarded to
her. The gentleman's prize was won
by Mr. j II Scott. Various other
amusementS were indulget in until
