DEATH OF REV. SAM p.
JONES.

Rev. Samuel p. Jones, the noted
Methodist revivalist, died on a
train, in Arkansas, while EN- route
to Memphis and his home in Car
tersville, GA.
Mr.. Jones was one of the most
unique and striking characters
that this country has produced.
In early life he was a wild and
dissipated young man, and lived
in Henry county, in this State.
After his conversion, he at once
commenced his career as an evan
gelist.
He startled his audiences by
the use of the modern style of
slang, and found thereby the
most effective application of his
arguments. While an audience
was listening to him, the slang
did not seem out Of place, but
was forceful and applicable.
He was listened to by large au-
diences, wherever he went, and
was instrumental in the CONVEX
sion of thousands of men and
women, large numbers of whom
have become effective workers IN
the churches.
He had not complained of any
serious indisposition, until shortly
before his death, and no one
dreamed of the end being SO near.
The remains were taken to his
home at Gainesville, Ga, for in
terment.
He was an orator of splendid
power and will be greatly missed
from his peculiar field of labor.

GRIENOCS BLUNDER.
Owners of Street Car System Re-
tum to Obsolete Ways of
Former Years.

To the utter astonishment Of
this whole community. the own
ers of the city street car system
have taken a backward step, which
virtually means no city trans
portation.
On Monday last the company
discharged a number of motormen
and conductors and cut down the
number of cars to he run over the
entire system to only two.
This is a long step backward.
1t is even giving less accommo-
dation to the public than was
afforded by the sham system we
had two years ago.
This, too, ut the very time when
the people of the city were using
the cars to an extent they had
never before done, and the system
was growing in favor right along.
During the past six months the
road had been run on schedule
time. u thing never before done,
and when any one needed the
transportation they could adjust
their movements TO the schedule
and satisfaction was felt on all
sides. 1t certainly looked like
the road was in fact what it was
called in name-a street car sys-
tenn.
Now all is thrown into con-
fusion and the accommodations
reduced even below that of the
old company, which was a stand
ing joke.
This is certainly a grievous
blunder, and at a time, too, when,
by the enlarged operations of the
Shoe Co. and the opening up of
the Glass Works, there was every
reason to believe vast impetus
was about to be given to the needs
Ct transportation.
There is no use in Disgusting
the fact, the people will not pat
ronize such a sawed.off system as
that now running. AS evidence,
the cars, which for weeks have
been full of people, almost every
trip, have been practically empty
since the new schedule has been
put on.
Gentlemen, the new scheme
won't work. 1t has been tried
and proven failure. Reconsider
your action.

DIR. BOOKER II. WASHING
TON.
Ablest and Most Useful Colored
Man of the Age Visits
This City.

On Monday last, DR. Booker T.
Washington, recognized every
where as the ablest and most USE
full colored man in this country,
visited this city, for the purpose
of attending the Goth Anniversary
of the Colored State Normal
School, taking part in the dedica-
ton. of the girls dormitory and
addressing the people OF this city.
DR.. Washington was met Mt the
c. IL Q. train. Monday morning,
by committee Of the most prom
inent colored people of our city.
He was at once taken TO the State
Normal School and took part in
the scheduled exercises there.
At 2 O'Clock p. m. the Opera
House was fitted with an audience
composed of our most prominent
citizens, both white and colored,
who listened in profound and adj
miring attention while this able
and earnest man delivered an
address that has rarely been en-
celled and seldom equalled for its
good, hard, common sense, and
it's effective and telling anecdotes
illustrative of his theme.
There can be no doubt but that
he set forth, in clear and unmis.
taxable language, the ideas that
should prevail in dealing with the
veXing problems that attach to
what is called the 'negro ques-
ton"
His earnest exhortation to his
own people to make themselves
such citizens as would command
the respect Of the community and
his scathing denunciation of the
idle, worthless and vicious class
was superb.
At the same time he asked that
the white people draw the line. of
distinction between the upright,
industrious and self-respecting
colored people and the unworthy
and vicious, and besought their
assistance in elevating the worthy
and eliminating the unworthy.
He showed how greatly the
white people erred in their gen.
eralization of all coons look alike
to me-" and stated that it had a
tendency to discourage the good
in their efforts for the right.
He advanced the new thought
that no one had ever heard of a
negro starving to death, and gave
as the reason therefor that there
were too many back doors to the
homes of the whites left open for
their obtaining food, without
labor, and contended that, if the
whites would close their back
doors and keep them closed, the
idle and the vicious would be
compelled, per force, to become
workers.
His perOration was u master
piece Of oratory, and the large
crowd of white people present
were warm in their praise of the
address.
1t will undoubtedly produce
great good in this community, if
needed.

loAicials Of the Bethlehem company.
who appeared before the navy de-
partment. The Bethlehem, from the
statement OF Charles NJ. schwab. has
practically completed its contracts,
and IL 1t does not secure a part OF the
new business offered by the govern
sment, it's plant Will be dismantled.
Mr.. schwab. who was accompanied
by President johnson and Vice Presi-
dent Schneider of the Bethlehem COM
pany. spent considerable time with
Admiral Mason, chief OF the bureau
of ordinance. to-day, and while It is
said they. did not receive any assur-
ance that the contract would be di.
vtded. they. did create an impression
ii is matter of serious doubt as to
the advisability of letting the entire
contract to the Midyale company.
Just at present the navy department
officials are not inclined to assume
the responsibility of letting the en-
tire contract to one concern. espect-
ally as this would probably drive the
other concerns out Of business. On
this account no action will probably
be taken until the question Is taken
IN with the President.
Although the navy department Off
Gals are disposed to give the contract
to the Midvale company, as this con-
Germ is credited with breaking the
hold Of the big plants upon the mar
ket, at the same time they entertain
fears of placing the government at
the mercy of the Philadelphia COM
pany. This, they fear, would be as
undesirable as the old condition.
With the big plants out of the bus
mess on the next contract it is urged
the REidvale company would be the
i only bidder. Another feature OF the
situation is that for some reason the
government might need armor faster
than It could be produced by the Mid
vale plant, and unless the other plants
were in operation the government
might find itself In serious plight,
It is understood Mr.. schwab pro-
posed to take part Of the contract at
$345 ton, which is as low as the
;Midvale bid. He said his company
would prefer to operate its plants at
a loss rather than to dismantle them.
The officials of the Midvale company
protest against this arrangement, and
insist the entire contract should go
to the lowest bidder.

Had a Fight
Up in the Air
SPECIAL POLICEMAN WAS KILL
ED BY GANG OF UNION IRON
WORKERS.

NEW YORK, July ia gang oil
union iron workers attacked three
special policemen on the eighth h0of
of the new Plaza Hotel and beat them
SO furfously that one. Michael But
Ter. died. and the others. John CHi'
len and William O'Toole. are lying
badly hurt in a hospital.
The trouble had its origin In the
sounbbles between the Nnion and noa-
union iron workers employed by the
Fuller Construction Company. There
are 100 nonunion men at work on the
lower stories of the Plaza Hotel
building. Nearly 100 union iron work
ers are engaged on the upper floors.
The non-union men are afraid OF
them. They say that for weeks the
iron workers have been dropping
bolts and bars of steel By accident
and that they have had to jump live
" to avoid having their skulls smash
ed.
SUPERINTENDENT Norris hired the
three special policemen to protect the
non-unfon men. The three were on
duty on the eighth floor. The floor
consists of steel bars. Along this
precarfous perch six husky iron work
ers. each carrying a bolt or wrench
in his right hand, crept upon Butler.
His revolver was seized and he was
assailed with heavy steel bolts.
Groaning, Butler Iurched sidewtse
of the plank and fell to the sixth
floor. O'Toole saw the attack on But
Ter and sprang to the rescue. AS
he ran across the Orders, two IRON
workers caught him. One wanted to
hurl him down through the building.
but the other was less ferocious. They
compromised by dragging him over to
platform, where they threw him
down and kicked and beat him into
Cullen started to
help 0'Toole and Butler. but the gang
knocked him down. trampIed on sim
and beat him into insensibility. The
three officers disposed OF the gang
went calmly back to their regular
work.
o'Toole regafned consciousness and
told Superintendent Norris. who sent
for the police. When the police ar
rived they climbed to the eighth floor
and with drawn revolyers compelled
the whole gang of ironworkers to de-
scend to the street. o'Too1e identl-
fed four of the ironworkers as his as
and they were arrested.
