Grand Fountain Of True Reform
ers to Be Called in Extra
Session.

Calling ,lpon President A. Holmes to
convene the Grand Fountain OF the
United order of True Reformers In eX-
traordinary session for the purpose OF
dealing with the troubles of the order.
n mass meeting of colored citizens OF
Richmond, held last night, favored the
guarantee by the Grand FOUNTAIN o.
all the liabilities of the defunct saVfnga
bank of the order.
IT is presumed that extra assessments
would be necessary on the part OF the
members to pay off the obligations OF
the bank, but those present at last
nights meeting took the ground that
the order should take high ground and
announce its Willingness anu us ihtef-
ton of reimbursing the depositora OF
the bank and of paying off in full all
claims against the True Rcformers.
Mitchell Speaks.
THE meeting was held In the True
Reformers' Hail, and was largely at

Mitchell pointed out the means by
which the society may get on It's 1eet
Grand Worthy Master y Holmes also
addressed the meeting.
A committee on resolutions presented
lengthy report. which was unani-
mously adopted.
The fact that the Grand Fountain Is
to be called together indicates the
earnestness of the officers. This body
meets once in two years, and held a
session in Richmond in September Of
this year at which time new pres
ident was elected.
others Are solvent.
The resolutions adopted last night
set forth the fact that confidence In
colored institutions should not ha
shaken by the failure of the Savings
Bank OF True Reformers and the en-
barrassment of the order. since other
oolored enterprises are in prosper-
Gus condition and are meeting their
obligations.
The creation of an advisory COM
mission was advocated to be COM
posed of white and conservative color
ed citizens. working together to save
the society. The meeting pledged 1t
self to the support OF the order II 1t
would pay It's obligations.
President Holmes was urged to in-
vestigate alleged violations OF the law.
and to use all the power of his posi-
ton to bring to light any crookedness
of whatever kind In any branch of the
order, and to see to IL that any per-
sons found to be guilty of wrong
